Would you please fill this form out and post the results? Maybe there's some other factor in husbandry that needs to be addressed: https://www.chameleonforums.com/how-ask-help-66/
I agree with ERKIeRose on this one. Additionally, depending on the age of the cham, they can be quite fragile. Anything below three months old and more reputable breeders won't adopt them out. There's a certain amount of risk in a super, super young cham.
I recently researched RO Systems and ended up with this one:

It's pretty compact, setting it up was pretty simple, and I'm generally happy with it. However, make sure you check ALL of the fittings to...
Thank you! I wanted to make sure that I had things right just in case he ended up being female after all. Glad I don't have to deal with getting a lay bin in there. :)
Hello all!
I've had Paisley for about a month now and I'm beginning to suspect that he might be younger than I was originally led to believe. At this point, he should be about ~4 months old, according to the dates the breeder gave me but I feel he's a little small?
Also, I am paranoid that he...
Take him to a vet immediately! He looks very, very dehydrated and there's almost no chance that he isn't suffering from a dangerous imbalance of vitamins. He is in critical condition.

It depends a lot on the climate in which you live. I live in Denver and the humidity is often below 40%. There was a good post about this recently that might interest you: Trouble Keeping Humidity Up
Covering a few of the vertical sides with a shower curtain or corrugated plastic (like what...
To quote from the food and nutrition section of the resources tab:
"Best - These gutloading ingredients are best because they are highest in calcium, low in phosphorus, oxalates and goitrogens. They should be the primary components of your gutload: mustard greens, turnip greens, dandelion...
Just to add onto some of the other info you've gotten-- carrots are okay (they're sort of a tier 2) but they shouldn't be the bulk of your feeders' diet. Romaine is little more than water. Try getting collard greens and/or mustard greens (tier 1 gutload along with papaya, watercress, alfalfa...
@Scarface24 Oh, are you talking about what's physically wrapped around the outside of the cage?
It's actually a translucent shower curtain. It only looks black because it was dark outside of Paisley's cage. It's actually on 3 of the cage's vertical sides. I use it to help keep humidity in the...
I have a mixture of faux vines, bamboo plant stakes, natural grapevine, and wild-caught sticks. Dowels (which I think you're calling wooden pegs) are a good, cheap alternative to natural branches

To give you an idea, this is Paisley's cage. I have since added MORE horizontal branches and am eyeing a few places to stick more!
