Hi Folks
He ate 6 grubs this morning, so here's hoping.
He now has crickets and grubs in the cage, dripping water, 5.0 UVB, 40watt basking spot at 378C....
I wait in hope to see if he pulls through.
Thanks a ton for all the advice.
Hi Folks
Well he's still hanging in there. Not looking any better though. I've set up a drip system, so he's getting moving water regularly, I still haven't seen him drink though.
I went to the pet shop this morning, and bought "ga-ga grubs" little maggot type worms, no shells, loaded with...
Thanks Folks

Nothing has changed in his environment.

I'll try a drip system next. I thought the waterfall was fine, as it is constantly moving water, with pump and everything. The picture on the waterfall box even had a chameleon on it.
so if there is no glass or plastic between him and the sun, he's getting enough sun to produce the D3 he needs. Are you dusting the insects with a phosphorous-free calcium powder? Do you feed the insects a nutritious diet?
There is no glass or plastic, the enclosure is netted. The calcium...

Thanks for all the advice/questions/replies.
I showered him with warm water last night, and this morning. I try and take the entire cage outside 2-3 times per week for natural sunlight.
Hi Folks
First post here, and I'm really glad I found this forum.
I have a flap necked chameleon that I saved from a bird attack.
I've had him for about 6 months.
He is in a ventilated enclosure, with a 10% reptiglo UVB fluorescent tube.
Heating source is a red 75w lamp, that keeps his...
