I’ve had a few geckos before. They were cool and all but I want to try chameleons. Thought I did proper research even before getting him and it still didn’t make it long enough. Everything I read said the opposite or didn’t say what was said from here.
This all happened in a course of 2 weeks. Noticed slight weight loss 2 weeks ago, waited 4 days to see if it got worse or better then called vet for emergency visit, they gave me medicine and that was that. He seemed fine and normal before that.
I’m 90% sure my veiled chameleon has passed now unfortunately, as it’s laying on its side, not moving or reacting when I move / touch him and is gray all over. Vet called and said they suggest getting a chameleon from a breeder rather than a pet store. Anyone suggest any chameleons for...
I do appreciate all the suggestions to help care for my chameleon. Thank you all for responding so quickly, I did not expect a response until probably a few days or a week after I posted. I will write these tips down for when I get another chameleon one day.
I don’t think he will make it to Monday, regardless of what I do at this point, unless someone thinks it’s still possible to revive him. Half his body is gray / black, and half is very light grey, resting on floor of cage.

No UVB in night light, compact light. I will get those type of insects, do they also sell those in stores like Petco or Pet Smart or would I have to order online?
Vet also gave me papers on what uvb light to get and what vegetables to feed him and what bugs to feed him, which are only phoenix worms, dubia roaches and crickets, only if gutloaded. I’ve been trying to find out how to gutload the crickets
Basking is too high???? I read 90 is fine for veiled chameleons, but idk. Had him for 3 months now, he’s 6 months old. I use Reptisun 10uvb 13 watt bulb, which my vet recommended. At night I use 1 black light for little heat at night which goes between 70 - 75, and I can barely see anything in...
