In case this may help somebody out in the future, it turned out that the ambient temperature wasn't high enough for his liking in some parts of the cage even though his basking spot was warm enough. I added some extra heat and he started eating voraciously within 30 minutes. It must've been...

Mostly just worried that he wasn't wanting to eat and from the "yawning", which is apparently normal even though I've never seen my veiled chams do it. I don't think he's on a hunger strike because I've tried quite a few different feeders, probably just adjusting. I don't think I'd like it if...

If you're planning on buying a hygrometer tomorrow this works well and is relatively inexpensive; http://www.petsmart.com/reptile/humidity-temperature-controls/all-living-things-reptile-habitat-thermometer-hygrometer-zid36-5195367/cat-36-catid-500012?_t=pfm%3Dsearch You'll need to stop...

He was moving around quite a bit before bed today, so I'm optimistic that he'll be doing better tomorrow! Whenever I see something wrong with one of my animals I tend to overreact, so that's probably the case here haha.

Are his eyes sunken? What about his casque? Those are both signs of dehydration that should be pretty easy to notice. If you're only misting him twice daily for 30 seconds each and you have no hygrometer he's probably not getting enough water. Do you have a dripper on his cage so that he...

I appreciate all the responses so far, I'm pretty sure I was just being paranoid and he's just adjusting. My main concern was the yawning which I know can be a sign of infection, but after reading the following thread and viewing the video, I'm pretty sure it's just his normal behavior...

Thanks for the response! I don't think that's a mark, just the lighting. I can't see anything out of the ordinary on his legs. I'm glad you pointed this out, and I feel really stupid not noticing it; when I bought him and his enclosure I checked the brand on the basking and UVB lights...

Here's a current picture of him in his basking spot. I haven't seem him bask since Sunday, so that may be a good sign. He's also been slightly more active in the past two hours or so than he has been the past few days. Thought another picture might help, can't hurt anyway.

I appreciate the response Carlton! He's in the basement, so there are no other light sources other than what is on his cage. Perhaps he's just adjusting to the new lighting schedule then? It was a two hour change, but with no other lighting sources I would think that he would adjust within a...

Forgot to mention, I definitely don't mind spending the money to take him to the vet, I have the financial means to take care of him if there's an issue, I'm just currently worried that because I've only owned him for a week and he just went through a move that a trip to the vet could be...

Update: He moved out some, so I wanted to add this photo. I noticed that his ribcage was looking sunken but I'm not sure if that is because of the way he is stretched out or if that would be indicative of a problem? Picture attached so you can see what I mean. Also made a very slight noise...

Hello everybody, hopefully somebody here can offer me some help. I'm concerned about my new panther, I've had veiled chameleons in the past with zero issues but this is my first panther chameleon. I'll provide as much information as I can in the first post, but I'd be happy to respond to...
