LOL you are going to put him down due to a Vit A deficiency. Dont do that, find a rescue locally or something. Also I am 90% sure that 60 seconds of misting is not close to enough for a Jacksons. I mist my panther more than that and a jacksons is a montane.

Also I would look at a different future pet, as you are showing that a chameleon is too much for you I think. Not trying to be mean, just stating my opinion after reading this thread.

I find your comments just a little unfair and not very helpful. You have absolutely no idea what is going on. Looking at the pictures I would guess this was a wild caught and you have no idea how dehydrated he became on initial capture, etc., before he came into the care of his owner. Maybe he has kidney failure from capture. Maybe he has kidney failure from chronic dehydration. Regardless, if he has kidney failure--one of the most common problems with captive chameleons and it is often caused by dehydration either acute or chronic--there is probably absolutely nothing you or anyone else can do to save it.

Neither you, I, nor the vet knows what is wrong.

You have no idea if he was dehydrated from that misting schedule. He seems to have a walled enclosure and it might very well have been enough. Read some of the posts written by Chris Anderson and notice how little he mists the glass enclosures that he keeps montane species in.

It is not wrong to decide to euthanize a sickly animal. It is not wrong to choose not to spend a lot of money trying to save an animal. It is not wrong to choose not to treat. What is wrong is allowing an animal to suffer and this owner is not doing that.

DaChameleonKing, I am sorry about your King.

Great....and what are u going to see inside that box??
