Over the last two days I've seen (what I view as) a rapid decline in my chams(~10month old Ambilobe) health. He is usually very active and eats and drinks well. About a week ago I noticed him showing stress colors(black barring) more frequently for no apparent reason but in all other regards seemed healthy.
Sunday he did not eat, he has been eating 6-12 crickets everyday.
Starting yesterday he seems very lethargic resting his chin on a branch and letting one or both front limbs hang.
The lethargy continues today and he is showing no interest in crickets or water. I found a mass of undigested crickets. I am unsure of whether or not this was vomited or pooped as there was no obvious urate attached.
To me his turrets look very dehydrated today though his casque still appears full.
For reference, here he is 1 month ago:
Your Chameleon - Ambilobe Panther, male, ~10months old. In my care about 6-7months.
