hi,
my adult male panther chameleon stopped eating about 3 days ago. he is 1 haft years old. i tried all different foods and he wont eat. he is well hydrated i know for a fact. he has changes to a darker color. i think i am going to haft to big him to the vet, does anyone know of a vet that is not going to make me go broke? i called one and he want 225. just for the check up:eek: is this a fare price? i live in new york long island. any ideas of how to get him to eat. all his food is gut loaded with bug burger and dusted with repashy calcium plus the all in one. he had a new UVB light and the tempter is is in the 90' s at the basking spot. he is a 2x2x4 screen cage. i have 2 other panthers in the same set up and they eat fine. does he sound sick? can it spread to the others? could this be as simple as he just doesn't want to eat, a hunger strike. he is duke if anyone want to take a look at my pictures.
 
It is not abnormal for these guys to go on hunger strikes especially at that age.

Has he been showing any other symptoms aside from not eating?
 
have u tried any flying insects like moths? They seem to not be able to turn down a flying insect!
 
If he just stopped eating 3 days ago and obviously loosing weight I would get a fecal done by a vet. He may have parasites
