strange behavoir in my male cham

[errlthecham]

Hey Everyone,

I am new this this type of thing (forums and whatnot) so if I am doing anything wrong please let me know. I have a year and a half old male Vield Chameleon. He is usually quite active, and as of late (last 2 days) he has been very very lazy, he doesn't seem to move much at all and usually he is a neusense he is always walking around and climbing things. His eyes are also not closed but slightly squinty. The only thing we have changed up lately is we stopped giving him supplements as he was open mouth breathing and that was one of the recommended way of stopping that (i feared he had some type of respiratory infection). 2 or 3 days after we stopped giving him the calcium and d3 he stopped opening his mouth like that so i figured it worked. He has never really been a drinker so we have to spray him all the time. he is still eating (crickets and horn worms, sometimes silks) but he seems to just be kinda lazy, i wish i had a better word for it.. low energy maybe? basically he just sits on his branch and looks around all day. PLEASE HELP as i love him very much and would hate to lose him due to my inadequate knowledge in reptile health. He is in a mesh cage i believe 5ft tall by 2ft wide by 1 ft deep. Any other info you guys need please let me know, i just want my boy to feel better. Thank you

I have never heard of calcium playing a part in mouth breathing. That is very strange. I highly doubt cutting back the calcium had anything to do with him opening his mouth or closing it. If you go back to the health clinic, there is an "ask for help" form. Fill that out in detail. It is hard to tell what you are doing wrong without any info whatsoever! Pictures of your chameleon are helpful as well as pics of the set up.
