HELP! I lost my panther Chameleon

[trickedoutbiker]

But I already did I checked Almost EVERY single bush tree in the street in my lane but nothing

You gotta keep looking. There have been people on here who lost chameleons for months before finding them again. I read a story once where a chameleon was lost INSIDE OF A HOUSE for 3 months and the owner couldn't find it, then, it just magically appeared one day! How it survived is beyond me - a true miracle! I've read another story where a chameleon was lost outside for months, and it was eventually found a few blocks away. Traveling only a few blocks in a few months is super lucky.....

Point is.... don't give up. Even if you can't find it today, tomorrow, this week..... don't stop looking. Because you just never know.... it might surprise you. Go knock on all your neighbors' doors and ask them to keep an eye out. Check in their actual yards as chams will cral through the yard to get to the next tree. Check ANYTHING shady that it could be hiding it. Just keep lookin.

How often was you checking on him? Every 5 minutes? 10 minutes? 20 minutes? I can't imagine that your cham got very far if you were checking periodically. Can it fit under the fence AT ALL? That seems like a nice spot to hide from the sun. Nice and cool and shady and provides cover..... Under every single inch of that fence is where I would be looking. Then shrubs and trees next. Checking yards as I go.

Are there any stray dogs or cats in the neighborhood? I would think a cat or dog would get your chameleon before a bird would. I'm no bird expert by any means, but I'd assume it would take a pretty large bird to view a chameleon as dinner. Most birds eat small insects and maybe frogs and such.

I looked under my patio EVERYWHERE in my backyard. I did another search and no skin

 

[trickedoutbiker]

Don't look for skin. That's not what you need to be looking for. Chances are, your chameleon has found a place to hide in the shade, or it headed for the highest point in its view. So find the shady spots near you and check them, and find the highest tree in your area and check that. I really have no idea what else to tell you. I'm sorry.

There are is a dog but it never went out today. Besides I looked under the fence with my family. Still nothing I even put a poster still nothing.
I check every 5 minutes. It's getting sorta chilly outside though

I agree with trickedoutbiker,that cham can be anywhere,look very close. Comb on every inch of the yard,check the water source on that water hose,check again n again,he wont stay in the same spot all the time he might start looking for food n water,if u got a smart dog at home use the dog wisely....if there are small birds in the neighborhood,the birds cant do jack sh@t,cause he is too big for them unless u got some eagle or night owl,find him n lock him back in his cage!!Never give up!!!

 

[LeoThePanther]

We did for hours before I posted this thread.

 

[LeoThePanther]

Im tired and sad still no luck did another search everywhere. No clues. Also do chameleons come back home? Or they move on somewhere else?

 

[alphakenc]

Did u climb n look on ur roof??what about the water gutter pipe,look inside ,sometimes they like to explore in a hole,how big is him???show us his pic,is it an adult or baby??

 

[LeoThePanther]

Here's a pic a few months ago. He's a adult

 

[PJK]

The longer he goes without being found, the farter away he can potentially get. Also consider he may have scaled the house, or gone inside the house somehow. check behind the toilets and under the sinks. Hope you find him.

 

[PJK]

and they are NOT like dogs, cats, or horses that will find their way home eventually, if he is out, he will find a good hiding spot and stay there indefinitely.

 

[alphakenc]

Go get some lightly dusted crickets n scatter around ur yard and Wait like hunting rabbit,dont give up on him,he is part of ur family,Will u leave a baby if he is lost....that cham need u more than anything else right now,think about all the great time he was with u,feeding him everyday,clean his poops,spending money to buy his favorite feeders....,those are timeless moment......awwwww God,he need u sooooo freaking bad ,he wants to come back in ur arm and stare at u with his cute eyeball....and telling u....plz plz come find me ,Im so helpless,I need u LeoThePanther,I never had someone soooo special like u,plz dont GIVE UP ON ME

He is a missing star waiting to be found.....

 

[LeoThePanther]

No luck maybe it's time to give up and maybe put food in the yard. Oh well I guess I'll never have a chameleon again unless I find him or someone does.

[nightanole]

Chams are always going to be bright colored and hanging out for all to see at the end of a floppy branch. So around 9pm tonight go out with a flash light and see if anything lights up.

 

[LeoThePanther]

I don't have another pet or female. I'll check tomorrow or night or maybe he died
