Howdy Asha,
Sorry to hear of your double loss. Before you try again, be sure to throw away any permeable items such as bendable vines and plants. Any other items like the enclosures etc. should be taken outside and saturated with bleach (at least at 10% strength or more) for at least 10 minutes. Rinse and hit with hot soapy water, scrub as much as possible, hit with bleach again, scrub again. If you want to go the extra mile, hit it with 10% ammonia and let stand again. BE CAREFUL not to get those two chemicals mix--deadly fumes. Bleach kills many types of bacteria and parasites but not all. Ammonia kills others not killed by bleach and visa-versa.

It is important to eliminate the possibility of this happening again as a result of parasites.

Then plan for optimum hydration with an automated mist system, optimum lighting with Reptisun 5.0 linear tube, optimum supplements with RepCal or Miner-All both with and without D3, Herptivite, a source of Vit A, good selection of gutloaded feeders, minimum stress environment, etc.

You've got to maximize the chances for success by minimizing the potential of having non-optimal husbandry variables listed above. While there are always examples where keepers have been able to successfully keep chameleons in less than optimal conditions, your success may depend on eliminating anything that could be questionable. Good luck!
