Hi everyone! So, my boyfriend just bought a little baby jackson chameleon boy a few days go (only a few months old!). He was sleeping when we got him, and we didn't think much of it. I noticed that his eyes were a little sunken in and he was probably dehydrated so we took him home and set up a nice little corner for him in my boyfriends room and misted him a little.
Now, a few days have gone by, and he still sleeps like, all day. When we take him outside he wakes up and becomes very active and colorful, but when he is inside, he gets really tired and sleeps all the time, even when the lights on.
He doesn't really eat. We tried feeding him from a cup, and he has attempted to eat a few times, but gives up and goes back to sleep. And I've never seen him drink. Also, he will be in the middle of walking or doing something and he will just fall asleep.. I think he may be narcoleptic.
* Cage Type - Pretty much the whole house. He lives in a corner of my boyfriends room when hes at school with a small box with twigs and plants set up, but its not exactly IN the box and the setup is pretty big.
* Lighting - No idea.
* Temperature - Whatever the house temperature is.
* Humidity - We live in Hawaii, so whatever that humidity is (its rather humid here..)
* Plants - He has 2 set up. I don't know what they are called, but they are cham safe. and a bunch of large sticks.
Chameleon Info:
* Your Chameleon - Baby Jackson chameleon, about 2 month old.
* Handling - Usually taken out but left alone.
* Feeding - Crickets
* Supplements - Repti Calcium powder.
* Watering - Misted about 2-4 times a day.
* Fecal Description - No idea yet..
