yaaaa with my veiled chameleon i was much more sad but that might just be because rango actually lasted about 3 days pushing forwardI would still be extremely upset but maybe it’s just me but I’d be balling. I’m sorry he’s in a better place

I’m sorry, he was too sick for too long, but at least he isn’t suffering now. 
For the future (if you ever get another cham), read through all of The Chameleon Academy and other helpful links that are recommended on here and only get a chameleon that is at least 3 months (for veileds and panthers, jacksons need longer) or older who is healthy. Make sure the breeder you get him/her from is experienced, good, reputable, and knowledgeable who puts their chams’ health before profits or color and has clear genes and lines (no inbreeding/line-breeding) and healthy, happy chams.

i have an idea on why he might have passed, that food stuck in his mouth is gone, he might have tried swallowing it but was to weak AKA choking.

He had something way more serious going on but maybe that’s why he passed sooner I’m not sure

He was too far gone anyway babe, just take your time if you do plan on getting another one

Sadly, it wasn’t that. There was something (or more) seriously wrong with him inside, especially with him being from CB Reptile and having improper husbandry

I don’t think that’s the cause. Their airway isn’t like ours...theirs is in the very front of their mouth. I’m so sorry the little guy didn’t make it.

How old are you if you dont mind me asking

Just make sure your husbandry is correct first (post it on here so we can review it before you get one)
So I really think this is the right choice.. Chameleons are hard animals to keep and very expensive. When husbandry is off even with one thing the whole balance is off. So what you do and how you provide it makes a difference. You did not have the basics down and were not providing what the baby needed. I am not trying to be harsh but after losing two now for similar issues you really don't want to have this happen with a 3rd.im probably gonna knock it down a notch and get a bearded dragon or leopard gecko, im also gonna order from someplace other than cbreptile
I would consider another animal. And really make sure you understand all the care required so you can be successful. Just because it is different then a cham does not mean you don't need to know and provide all the needs required.
I am sorry for your loss.
