every spring I have an ootheca in every enclosure 👍 the survivors that my chams dont eat make it to round 2 in my planters outside. I love mantids almost as much as chameleons so it warms my heart to see one reach maturity and hanging out in my garden. I name them Rambo cause they've cleared...
Hydration and natural morning sunlight if possible, horn worms if he'll eat. look up bill strands veiled chameleon care via the chameleon academy. to be honest he doesn't look good he may be too far gone to treat on your own I would get him to a vet ASAP. im glad you got a uvb source he looks...

I had concern over the bio activity as well. I can imagine the eggs would be recycled fairly quickly not to mention ants in my outdoor enclosures I doubt they would stand a chance of surviving a 9 month incubation. I'll look for more studies on how the eggs cope with bioactivity in the wild ...
