He definitely looks a bit husky. You can see it in his arms and legs and casque. If everything else husbandry-wise is good, then I also agree that's a good place to start. The real problem is the fat eventually builds up inside the chameleon, and can push and constrict the internal organs.

Still chasing after food and excited to eat? That would be a good test for lethargy. Can you put a cricket or somewhere he can see and let him hunt it? He should be interested.

Its a sweet girl...she looks super nice too

he looks a lot like my boy

I'm glad your cham is ok...but probably shouldn't leave him in charge anymore. 😬

Just read the above posts. Glad the vet you went to seems to think everything is ok. However, if the appetite gets worse or he stops eating altogether, that's the best sign you should seek help quickly. Like think of it as an emergency because that stomach does look off to me. Sincerely, hope...

I don't feed my cham outside bugs for literally one reason...parasites. Toxins and harmful environmental substances are not my main concern.

Back on the subject of keeping crickets longer. Here are a few tips I have found help from experience: 1) Clean cricket condos - try to keep the place they live free of dead crickets. They release toxins that kill and sicken live crickets, and end up causing a chain reaction. 2) Keep food and...

Male almost positive

tone is happy to finally be outside

Interesting angles... male.

Female - 99.9% Also, not knowing is sometimes a good indication, as people like to charge more to males. So, typically you'll pay more if it's male. Not saying that happened here, but it's sometimes a good indication.

The first pics you posted look like an injury. The color was super dark compared to her other blacks. But then you said you took her to the vet, and the vet said she looked healthy. Finally, you posted the last pictures and it looks like that blackness is actually just her color. When you...

I lol'd looking at your name when i read this.

I have a lilac tree in my backyard, and it only blooms for a few weeks out of the year. I always try to get the lizards out there for some pics. These are a couple pics of Tone.

Sorry... I was really hoping for a better outcome here.

This was really nice to read from start to now. I hope we get more updates, and the cham is doing well and has a name.

I am also not a lizard vet but have experience in lab values/meanings - took a look at the flagged numbers from the labs. HIGH AST, HIGH CPK, low monocytes/basophils (immunity), HIGH azurophilic monocytes. These together could be indicative of a muscle injury compounded by stress like the vet...

At night the crickets scream...

Have you tried moving the cage somewhere where natural light from a window can get in? It looks awful dark in the pics you sent. I can't really tell, but they are very sensitive to the sun cycles. Might help him adjust more to waking/sleeping. Just an idea that could be easy to try...
