Chameleon Info:
Your Chameleon - veiled, male, about 12 weeks old, have had him about 2 weeks
Handling - once daily or every few days depending on free time
Feeding - feeding 6 - 7 tiny crickets gutloaded with Repashy Superload & greens & carrots, also tiny hornworms & Phoenix worms tried fruit flies when he started eating less
Supplements - Repashy Calcium Plus on all feeders except fruit flies (learned that it kills them!)
Watering - mist 3 - 4 times daily do have a hard time keeping humidity up so have covered two walls with plastic humidity still ranges from 80% to 20%
Fecal Description - stools looked great for first few days - now nothing since last Fri
History - none
Cage Info:
Cage Type - screen cage 12 x 12 x 18
Lighting - Reptisun 5.0 added a 50 watt ZooMed today in case he was cold
Temperature - temp ranges from 72 during the day to 66 at night
Humidity - having trouble keeping humidity up ranges from 80% (after misting) to 20% (an hour later)
Plants - I have 2 artificial plants and 1 bamboo
Placement - he is in the reptile room up on a higher shelf - I need a step stool to get to him
Location - suburb of Chicago
Current Problem - He started eating less about a week ago, got some small silk worms which he did not eat, then ordered fruitflies which I do not believe he is eating either. He has not eaten anything in about 3 days, he did not move around at all yesterday and his crest seems to not be as full as it was. He has lost a gram (was 6 grams when I got him - is now 5) Since I added the heat lamp he has hung out under it with his eyes closed. I dripped some water onto his mouth which he lapped up, tried to sneak a fruitfly in there but he wouldn't take it. Also today, I saw him retch like he wanted to vomit but nothing came out.

I have 5-6 month old and they like it a little warmer or else they get a little sluggish. That and it'll help him digest.
