Hello All,
I have a 5 month old male vailed chameleon, Saturday morning we found him to be shaky on his feet, laying on his tummy, no bowel movement, at 3 crickets for the day, we tried lettuce but no luck, and did drink water. I am very worried about him. I have called the vet and they can only see him on Thursday this week. He came down to the floor but didn't go back up, we had his lights off at night as usual. Temp is between 55-66 humidity is at 80, and we have been spraying him as normal 5 times a day. Can you help please anything would help. Thank you
 
Will do. Going to clean terrarium out the crickets are dead when I take him out I will do a quick video.

They probably will still not see him and even if they do, do you think you would get a true diagnosis with that attitude?
