Great thank you all for your help!

Thanks I agree. Also unnoticed he turned a bright light green, almost yellow yesterday when I put some paper towels around his screen cage to give him privacy. You might try this with your girl, he seemed to be light green and more active when I did this

does anyone have a recommendation for a good vet for my Jackson chameleon in Brooklyn? I've searched around but can't find anyone specifically for chameleons

Has anyone ever had their chameleon projectile poop an all liquid substance? I'm waiting for the vet to call me back, my chameleon seems ok this morning, still slow and sluggish, but laying under his basking lamp all morning

He's been moving a little the past hour, though he's extra slow and his tail seems out of alignment. The bottom half of his spine and tail seem twisted and he doesn't move his back legs as easily as he used to. Then just a minute ago he went into his poop stance and shot out a stream of...

I raised the temperature a bit but he went to his hiding place the minute I moved my hand toward cage and is still dark black with curled tail. Not sure what has happened but hopefully he will come around and hopefully eat something soon.

Thank you. He won't open his mouth for anything when I'm near him. Impossible to even get him to take his liquid calcium. I will try again tonight though. I've wanted to get him tested for parasites but he hasn't had a poop in over a week. So I'm waiting to see what to do. Hopefully something...

Yeah I made sure to try and read up on transporting and make it as comfortable for him as I could. He's been fine with traveling each week for the last month and a half of having him. But last couple days is black colored and not moving much at all. On top of it eating last three weeks. I'm...

I keep him in a small cardboard box with holes, and then a towel over that on my lap. I read somewhere this was the best way, so he doesn't stress out. He sleeps most of the trip and seems ok. The temp is about 71 in the car today. It's about a two hour drive twice a week, thursdays and then Mondays

Chameleon Info: Your Chameleon - Jackon, male, and a year old (unsure) I've had him for about a month. Handling - once every week or two so that he gets some sunlight. Feeding - crickets, mealworms, dubai roaches, and superworms (mostly crickets and roaches with occasional worm) Been trying...

Yeah I've tried hornworms and waxworms too. He ate one hornworm two weeks ago. Won't bother with any other worms though and he's super lethargic.

Thanks! Good to know about the flies. I had kept them for 24 hours and fed them dandelion greens, hoping that any bad bacteria or persticides would kill them over 24 hours. But they all survived so I figured they were safe. Must have mis-read that about testing wild caught bugs. I'll order...

Can't tell if this is a grasshopper or what...but I am trying to get my Jackson to eat and was hoping I could feed it to him. I don't live near any pesticides or the city. Caught him in my garden upstate NY. He ate three flies I caught outside, after almost two weeks of eating nothing...

Still hasn't eaten, and I've tried silkworms, hornworms, supers, crickets, moths, flies, and roaches. When I moved him to his other cage (I have two homes I split time at during the week so he has two cages) he hasn't moved much. He did yesterday when he got into his second cage. But today has...

Thanks everyone for your replies. I didn't think he might be shedding, he shed a little piece on his under-elbow area a week or so ago, but I haven't seen any other flakes/skin yet. Maybe that is the case and what's causing his hunger strike. He wouldn't eat any crickets again today, though I...

My Jackson is only brighter greens if he is outside, or when he wakes up and falls asleep. During the day he is browns like your first pics, sometimes lighter greens if he's under his uvb for a while :)

He stopped eating a week before I got his new UVB. I haven't changed anything in his cage either....so I have no idea what's up. He still won't eat any dubais or crickets this morning, so the last thing would have been two super worms last Friday :( I'm worried he got hooked on superworms...

Thank you! That makes sense, since it's something new in his cage. Was just worried he could get too much water on him or something. He just sits there until the dripper runs out, letting it drip on his body the entire time. Hopefully he'll get hungry and eat some solid foods soon.

I've had my Jackson Chameleon for about a month and a half now, and 9 days ago he stopped eating his regular feeding of gutloaded crickets/dubai roaches. I gave in this past Friday and put two superworms on his cage door and he grabbed them quickly, but has zero interest in crickets or roaches...

Anyone have any idea how old he might be? The vet I took him to was unsure, but said he's not a juvenile based on his horns.
