I have a kinyonga boehmae who is about 5/6 month old. When we first got him we were told loads of wrong info off the pet shop and nearly cooked him. He was really ill so we took him to the vets and it was all down to the temperatures being way too high. Since joining the forum I have also found out his tank is not getting as much air flow as needed so have took the glass doors off. He seems to be getting darker in colour and not eating as much also seems less awake through the day. Can anyone give any advice. We have a few different reptiles but this is the first chameleon

In the Health clinic forum is a post on how to ask for help. It will give you a template to fill in about your Cham, his housing, and your current husbandry techniques. This information will allow other members to troubleshoot your particular situation and provide guidance. I'm not familiar with your specific Cham but I'm sure you'll get plenty of feedback.
Good luck.
Good luck.
Here is the form https://www.chameleonforums.com/how-ask-help-66/ and any pics of the enclosure and of your cham could be useful. It may show some things that may be off in his set up. I think another vet visit may be in order. It is not a good sign when they are sleeping during the day. I would suggest a fecal test to help rule out some things.

How terrible. I'm really sorry! I hope all goes well. I've never experienced this and I really don't know what to say and I don't want to give you any guesses because I don't want things to go wrong.
