veiled took a nap and not active at all

my sweet Picasso

New Member
Picasso is a male veiled I have had him around 4 months he may be around 7 months (they were unsure of his age) he is in a mesh 4ft cage that he has been in for a while he has been a very bright happy and interactive lil guy. I absolutely love him. his cage was by some windows so due to night getting cold and drafty home I moved his cage to a different part of the same room 2 days ago. I believe this has stressed him out. he took a nap today which is not like him to be so sluggish. light uvb and humidity are looking ok. he has not eaten today which is odd because he will atleast eat the meal worms I give him. I dusted 3 days ago but I did to much and I don't know if this sleepy dark colors out of the ordinary behavior could be from that or stress of moving the cage. I just want my guy to be happy and healthy. his urate looks good but his last poop was a tiny bit runny. brown poop like always but he has always had solid so the lil runny made me think as well that its over dusted incident or stress. I am not sure though.. I have gauges in the cage and mist 3 times a day. pothos in cage as well as ficus and vines etc. nothing new except dusting incident and moving. any advice or ideas? I would appreciate any input.

Posting a pic of your chameleon and set up are always helpful. There might be something we see that you would not notice. As you probably are aware, sleeping during the day is not a good sign. I don't think moving the cage would cause him to sleep. There is most likely something going on with his health unfortunately. Incorrect lighting, for example, lighting that is too strong for their eyes may cause them to close them, but if you have been using the same lighting since day one without issue, then you have to start looking at it as a health issue.
 
His light just went off. Time change also may possibly have something to do with it. I am a Lil over protective but i am not sure. I will post more pictures tomorrow and monitor him as well. But will listen to any input because i want to take best care possible of him.
