Signs of stress?

[Baby Lobie]

What are signs of stress in a chameleon? Mine is a baby Panther... just wondering what to look out for.. I've heard shut eyes and not eating.. anything else?

I don't think shut eyes and a loss of appetite are signs of stress. I would advise you to take your cham to your local vet as soon as you can. Signs of stress would be their color showing or black patterns.

I just took my cham to the vet, turns out he has coccidia & pinworms.

Signs to look at for, smelly feces & loss of appetite.

I'd suggest taking your cham to the vet to make sure he checks out fine.

But fill out the how to ask for help form, it'll make things easier and you may not have to take your cham to the vet

Dark colours. Change in shape ie flattening body and taking a swing at you with mouth open. Hissing. I had a veiled who did all of the above if I so much as look at him. It wasn't nice.
