my chameleon is not moving

I'm very sad for you. :(

Yes, I would be concerned that your female cham might have the same parasites, especially if they shared a cage.
It would be wise to have fecal exams done on her poop to check.

It would be good to disinfect the cage and anything that is in it and replace the plants with new ones.

Chams do need a UVB bulb--here the Reptisun 5.0 is popular because it is enough UVB but not so much that it hurts their eyes--and the UVB bulb should be replaced with a new one every 6 months.

If you are not really sure that this vet is competent to care for your chams, check with a local reptile society and find out which vets they recommend.

On the ARAV website the only vet shown in the Czech Republic is this one:
Karol Racka
State Veterinary Institute
Rantirovska 93
CZ 586 05 Jihlava
+420 567 143 252
 
How many chameleons do you have?
Do they live in the same cage?
Do you know the name of the parasite or parasites the male had?

I will ask the doctor tmrw and I will inform you, just thefemale lived with him another ones are in different ones, and in the different room, I have 9 of them :rolleyes:
 
Besides the chams being in contact with each other, parasites are transmitted from one cham to another by feeding the insects that one cham did not eat to another cham.
Not washing hands after handling each one is another way.
It can be difficult to prevent spreading the parasites accidentally.

If any cham is living in a cage that the male had been in, then I would certainly disinfect that cage, throw away whatever is too difficult to disinfect and replace the plants.
I don't know if you won't have to disinfect it again because some parasites can't reinfect your cham and others can.
I should add that disinfecting the cage and whatever else it contains might be best done with laundry bleach (sodium hypochlorite) --far away from your chams so they do not breathe the fumes.
Of course everything must be rinsed completely to make sure your cham isn't harmed by bleach residue.
Boiling water or steam cleaners can also kill parasites and parasite eggs/cysts.
You can ask the vet what parasite or parasites he had and what she recommends using to disinfect the cage.

If the medicine was something considered very safe, like Panacur, maybe your vet will sell you enough medicine to treat all of your chams, instead of the fecals.

Maybe the parasites did not kill the male and it was a serious infection or cancer or something else that killed him.
Ask the vet.
A good vet can do a necropsy to determine the cause of death, if the dead cham is refrigerated, not frozen, until brought to the vet.

I am so sorry for your loss, I am keeping my fingers crossed for the rest of your cham family
 
Thank you very much I was crying, but what can I do I really hope all others will be ok :-( i can not get new jacksonii msle here, they dont have them.
 
There is a very good chance that all your other chams will be OK.

It is possible that the only reason the parasites affected him was that there was something else wrong with him--and he may have died from the other health problem or from both.

People on this forum will be glad to help you to see if there is anything that should be changed in caring for your chams, to help you to keep them healthy for a long time.

A few months ago, my favorite cham died and I was so sad. I did not wait at all to get another cham.

Although I don't know anything about this company in the Czech Republic,
they do claim to have Jackson's for sale, so maybe you will want to research them if you plan to get another Jackson's
http://www.animalfarm.cz/
 
Thank you very much, please can you advice me more about jacksonii, I am just afraid about female. Can I send you her cage tmrw, i really dont want her to die as well :-(
 
I understand how upset you are today. I would feel very sad and upset, too.
Please try not to panic. Your first cham did not die from sickness.

The second cham died from disease or parasites but that does not mean that the Jackson's female will, too.
Not all illnesses are contagious and not all illnesses are fatal. Parasites can be eliminated.
For example, if he had cancer, you would not worry that the female would get that, too.
Try not to worry.
Instead, find out from the vet why he died.
The vet she should also be able to help ensure that your Jackson's girl stays healthy.

You seem to be worried that something is wrong in her care, so please " cut and paste" the questions from here
https://www.chameleonforums.com/how-ask-help-66/
and add your answers to the questions.

I and others will tell you if anything should be changed.
Does she look or behave like something is wrong with her?
You can post pictures of her when she is awake.
