Stay calm he's in the tree you have to go get him. If you don't find him by nightfall you can see them with a good flashlight at night they glow. Where do you live? Can you climb a ladder? I just saw where you live to far for me to drive to help you.
You could after 9 months they should be developed by then. It all depends how far along they are. It looks like another couple month of development is needed.
Thats what I thought don't do that. You sent them a rain season signal that's when they hatch in the wild. Your better off letting it stay dry when it's that close to 9 months. Live and learn thats what I say.
I'm still feeding other food also BB,FF, Aphids from the rose garden and what ever else flies into the cage which is alot. I'm also wating for Mantis to hatch out which is a wast because they are eating crickets but I guess it's good for variety.
Feed out the pinheads then see how it goes. I wanted to get pinheads but Jungle Bob's doesn't carry them so I said give me the smallest you have which was 1/8 to 1/4 in. mixture the pumilums had no problem with them. I don't know how big your chameleons are so be careful.
You should give them room don't keep looking and going back looking and going back. If your going to look get a chair and watch but no fast movements. They will eat I was more concerned with drinking at first.
The pumilums like it hot and I mean hot it was 85 with high humidity here over the weekend and I put plywood over the top of the cage and they were still trying to bask in it.
