I’m sorry for your loss.
If you fill in the husbandry form, we can help you figure out what happened to Zeus, or if you get another chameleon how to prevent it from happening again.
I was holding her when she saw Leo… and not feeling receptive, she fired up. Brought her back to the privacy of her cage right away. Couldn’t resist a couple photos first, though.
I’m sorry, there is a lot wrong in this photo. Your chameleon has severe MBD, and unfortunately I have never seen one this far gone survive.
The red is likely from a cricket bite or something similar.
My cham was about the same at that age. They all develop at their own speed, so I wouldn’t worry as long as you have correct husbandry. In a couple months or so he should have even more colour. He’s beautiful already, too!
Just choose your favourite, they are stunning no matter the colour form.
For availability, Ambilobe is the most common locale, but they can have almost any combination of red, yellow, green and/or blue.
Honestly depends on the locale. Personally the purples in some ambanja, but nosy boraha also have really unique colours. Go with what you personally like, there are tons of combinations of colours.
