I've tried. Hopefully he's just too stressed with the enclosure and joshua will have better luck with him in a bigger environment. It breaks my heart to see him getting worse.
This was him approximately a week ago. Unfortunately he has deteriorated a bit since then :c I can send another updated pic once I'm back home. He really needs a new home asap.
Hello everyone. As of yet no one has responded back to me from any rescues I've contacted. That being said, my cham still needs a new home. If anyone knows someone who'd take him please reach out.
Thank you for all the support guys! I'm glad you all approve, I hope I'll be able to hear from that rescue soon. Hopefully my little guy stays healthy enough till then. Thanks again for your support!

Also I'm definitely going to get some hornworms tomorrow. So is there any other kind of feeder I should get. I can't have crickets however, it needs to be something I can control if it gets out of its feeder box/cham cage.
My apologies for misspeaking before. When I said my chameleon rushes to drink, I meant more that after a few minutes after spraying he'll go and drink for a very long time and very intently. It's definitely possible he is still dehydrated though. In terms of a misting system, that seems very...
Thank you for taking the time to reply back to me! Unfortunately I won't be able to upgrade my cage immediately, but so far, according to you, the only main issue with my cage is the length as its only about 2x as long as he is. I will get some hornworms tomorrow and schedule a vet visit. Are...
