Thank you very much. He passed not long after I posted this thread. I feel terrible for not being more proactive sooner to help him. I doubt it would have made a difference, but it's still really upsetting.

You can find the previous details of my situation here https://www.chameleonforums.com/threads/lethargic-male-jackson.151364/ My young male jackson went from lethargic, and refusing food and water, to lifeless at the bottom of his cage today. I went to get Repti-Boost and when I came home I...

Update: There were no improvements this morning, so I had him in some partial sun woth a dripper set on him for about 45 minutes. Fortune has it, a neighbor was having a plant sale and I got two new plants to provide more coverage and increased humidity. He seemed a little better after...

Thank you so much. The vet is a last ditch option, I just don't have the money for it and it's over an hour and a half away and my car doesn't run well. If I can't get any sign on improvement or he takes a turn I will go to the vet. I'll see if they have that calcium anywhere locally...

No, it was just before sunset. He's been having his eyes closed more often than not, but he still does open them and look around if I am near his cage or handling him. All these were taken at the same time.

Here are better photos of both sides of the face, and a whole body picture. I had him out in the sun for a little bit today and he seemed to perk up a little bit, but no food or water. I am going to hold back on offering him anything to eat for another couple days and see if he gets hungry...

I guess I mean which ever I need to try to get him eating. How long should I wait until I try force feeding? Morning sun doesn't hit his cage until about 9am, on the right side of the screen. I used to find him around there every morning. Tomorrow I am going to make a screened part in the roof...

Thank you so much. I'm going to work on his cage tomorrow, cut a new screen sun roof into the top, adjust his dripper, aND water him more often until I can get a mister setup. I may need to try hand feeding, he's completely off food a few days Any recomendations for Reptaid or Repti-Boost? I...

Here is a photo of the cage and of hi Jackson.

Thank you so much for your thorough response. The top is solid wood, yes, which is why I am concerned about not enough light. He gets a small amount that trickles in on the sides, where I usually find him basking, but I dont think it is enough. I would say all the light is filtered, no direct...
