I hope you're able to figure out SOME kind of vet option, because as ataraxia said, he almost certainly has some parasites that you're going to have to deal with, and a vet is pretty much your only solution there, unless some other keepers here are experts enough to tell you how to self-medicate...
She's so cute. Glad you were able to rescue her.
I would have been meaner at the pet store, and said something more along the lines of "These two chameleons are going to die. How about I be nice and take them off your hands for half-price, you guys don't try and sell anymore chameleons, and...
1) What are you feeding him? If he's 3 1/2 inches long he should be able to eat small crickets. If the crickets are too big he won't go for them
2) What is the temp in the cage? I'm worried you have him in that tiny container with a 50 watt bulb right on top.
3) Is he drinking? How are...
Yeah, seriously click that "View our Sponsors" link.
I'll go ahead and plug Kammerflage right now (www.chameleonsonly.com). I'm getting a new baby panther from them in a few weeks. I've used them previously and they're just fantastic and their chams are gorgeous.
Plus for new chameleon...
Hunger strikes are common with just about any chameleon. My last panther went through MANY phases.
Didn't want to eat dusted crickets. Then ONLY ate dusted crickets. Then wouldn't eat crickets at all, wanted Superworms. Then back to dusted crickets, then back to Superworms, etc...

Check out the sponsors list on this website. There are several there that specialize in feeders, and I know at least one or two that you can mail-order fruit fly cultures from. Baby cams LOVE fruit flies, but they outgrow them quick. HOUSEFLIES are really fun to watch baby cams eat, if you...
Hey folks,
I've got a new baby Panther on the way (yay!) and I'm getting his enclosure ready. There was (coincidentally) a reptile show in the area, and I went with my wife and some friends mostly for fun.
While I was there, I stocked up on items to get ready for his arrival.
One of...
I'm sorry to say this, but MDB does not come from nowhere. It takes a relatively long time to develop. Something is wrong with your setup or your supplementation, and has been wrong for quite awhile. Please fill out the full care sheet, and pictures of your enclosure might help too.

I'm not sure if it is relevant to your problem or not. However, it looks like your chameleon passed a couple sperm plugs in addition to defecating.
Now, it's possible if he had impacted sperm plugs this could cause issues with him urinating or defecating... but since he's obviously passed...
This is interesting, I'm getting ready to buy a Mistking system myself (much smaller setup, for a single panther).
I've seen lots of Mistking setups before but I don't think I've seen one before with a heater in the water reservoir. Do most people do this? Does it make a big difference for...
That's a great video about Jacksons, and I pretty much agree with everything he's got going on there. it probably looks pretty intimidating with the humidifier and the misting system.
The need for a humidifier will vary greatly depending on where you live and what your ambient house...
I just ordered a Nosey Be from them. Going to have to wait a few weeks though. This will be the 2nd chameleon I've bought from them. They're really wonderful, and their chameleons are stunning.
