Bumping this in the hopes Sweetchamo reads this and learns of the MBD her chameleon has. The sooner she starts treating, the better. Can't tell for sure but it Looks like the MBD is not too advanced yet.
The method that works best for me is to just use a long stick. Be careful and move VERY slowly. Sometimes they will try to walk right off the stick keep a hand underneath your cham (wrapped in a towel if you are afraid of being bitten). Most will eventually get used to it and get on the stick...
Even in her grief, your daughter was able to do what had to be done. I'm sure you must be very proud.
Hoping and praying for all the eggs to hatch. Please let her know our hearts are with her during this very sad time. Wishing you all the best.

First chameleon was a female veil - sooo tiny when I got her, I decided to name her WIDGET.
When I got my second chameleon, a panther, I kept the theme and named him GIZMO.
Good thing Grimbold was already named or he could have ended up being called THING-A-MA-JIG.
During his 3 day escapade, Gizmo mostly hung out at the end of the branches. I could almost always see him in the mornings, warming up in the sun. Don't give up.
