Help please

[Ditto the veild]

my 3 month old veild Cham is sleeping all day and won't open his eyes. He won't even open them when I switch out light bulbs and he's not eating or drinking he stays in the same spot all day too. I don't know if this is normal or not but please help me!!

That behavior is not normal. Please fill out the form on this link so that you can receive some advice. https://www.chameleonforums.com/threads/how-to-ask-for-help.66/

I will say this. He is in desperate need to be seen by a vet.

He looks very dehydrated, critically dehydrated. Please get him under a mister and leave him in the mist for at least an hour and repeat every hour. You can get an Arctic Cove patio mister that hooks up to your hose. He needs fine mist falling around him constantly right now.

He's very little and being that dehydrated is not good. There could be something else going on but my hunch it is just dehydration.

What is your misting regime?

^^ Do that ASAP. It would also help to know what lights you have him under and everything else on the help form.

I took him to the vet today and they are keeping him overnight and going to check him out in the morning

I got him back today he is very healthy climbing around and not lathargic. When we took him he seemed afraid but know he seems to like it when I hold him. Thank you for all your advice and I’m glad the story had a good ending!!

We also got him a 5x2 cage so he can climb around more and so he’ll have more room when he’s older

It's always good to see a happy ending!
