Update: Gumby was taken a fantastic vet here in Italy and we have a solid plan for his recovery. Thank you for your advice and happy chameleoning!

His latest movement

He did a new thing today. He opened his mouth then started contorting his body side to side. Then in a gagging fashion, he stuck his tongue out like so. He has never done this inside his enclosure only outside.

Absorbing sun rays just moments ago

Deflecting heat.... Seems to be changing colors appropriately

His eyes do appear to be sunken in a bit, although he has been drinking normally. Isn't that typically a sign of dehydration or could it mean something else? Thank you.

This picture is from earlier today. I will take more in a moment and post them.

What indicates that he doesn't look so good? Please note that he was stretched out to his max and his eyes are closed due to the misting at that time.

This picture is from earlier today. I will take more in a moment and post them. There is no evidence to suggest he has broken any bones. I took him out of his cage yesterday while my wife cleaned his cage. He was walking fine in the lawn.

Chameleon Info: Your Chameleon - Male Veiled Chameleon in our care for 11 months. He is 13 months old. Handling - Very rarely. Only when he "asks" and sometimes during cage cleaning. Feeding - We feed him mainly 10-15 crickets daily. He also receives wax worms and meal worms occasionally...

That's why it's also important to cover the soil in your plant pot (assuming your plant is real) with rocks or some other large objects that your Cham...

Update: Gumby ate two crickets when I got home from work! I've upped his basking temp to 90 and am hopeful he'll bring doom to several more crickets tomorrow.

Awesome! Thank you for the quick reply. His basking spot stays at a firm 85, so I'll up it to 90 and see if that helps.

It's now day 3 of Gumby (9 mo old veiled) being in his new enclosure and he is still refusing to eat. Should I be concerned?

Thanks for all your input/expertise. It is much appreciated

Ok I'll post a better one when I get home. Thanks again for your help.

The picture of him in my hand is three days old and the close up is just yesterday. It appears to be getting better IMO

Thank you for the reply. So you're saying it's a bacterial infection? How can I prevent this from occurring in the future, aside from continuing to maintain a clean, hygienic environment for him?
