Sadly, illy passed away this morning. We are heartbroken and confused as to how he was perfectly fine one day and then dies the next :(

Hi! We moved into a new home (less than 10 min away) on Friday. Illy (our almost 2 year old Cham) was kept inside his very large cage and transported via work van (this kept him as stable as possible and in the dark). During the short ride he did very well - roaming the cage, eating worms and...

Butter worms, super worms, small amount of wax worms and reptiworms...

And now it's gone... Turned out be a spot that comes and goes when he changes his colors.... The one on the nose is still there though

Just returned home and he now has this...

Hi! Illy has a black spot on his nose this morning that wasn't there yesterday... Please see picture. Not sure if it's just worm remains or something more serious.... Thank you for your help!

This is what I come home to today (see pictures).... I don't know if he's just full/lazy/relaxing or not okay.... When I walk up to his cage he opens his eyes and starts to get up and act normal... His food dish is empty so he's eating, we have lighting and love plants and humidity fine... I...

He is no longer eating mealworms at all.... We stopped those right away last week.

Red light has been removed for a few days now. He's currently eating dusted superworms, wax worms, butterworms. Yesterday, we changed out his 60w blue daylight bulb to a 100w plus he has the reptisun 5.0 uvb bulb.. he seemed to start acting much more active and eating more after that change was...

Ok so now we have the right feeders and plants and humidity but I think we have a lighting issue as he isn't digesting properly based on the look of his feces. See pictures. We are going to go buy new higher wattage bulbs today. Any tips, advice etc is greatly appreciated.

This is him right now. He has eaten 5 mealworms today and is still very active. The other feeders will be here tomorrow morning! Does he look okay?

Update: Did not use the red heat lamp last night and when I went to turn his day lights on this morning he was sleeping on a branch, he opened his eyes when I started talking to him... seems as though he got a good rest! Will not be using the light again and temp in the cage was about 72 in...

Top portion of cage is low-mid 80s, bottom is low to mid 70s.

I can't thank you all enough for the feedback and advice! It is greatly appreciated!

Hello, We purchased Illy, on Friday evening from a local Petsmart along with a Zoo Med Chameleon kit and a few additional items. When we arrived home we setup his enclosure (all mesh, about 3 feet high and 2 feet wide, blue daylight bulb & heat lighting, also purchased a red heat lamp for night...
