Chameleon Info:
Your Chameleon - Panther, Male, Hatched Dec. Had him for 2 weeks today.
Handling - First week, once to allow adjustment. This week, often to assist in problems.
Feeding - Pin-heads, about 12 a day, gut load w/Fulkers
Supplements - Reptical w/o D3 each day, and first day used with D3
Watering - I mist 4 times a day for about 2-3 minutes. I've never seen him drink until last few days.
Fecal Description - Dark droppings with white, picture available upon request. Not tested.
History - Any previous information about your cham that might be useful to others when trying to help you.
Cage Info:
Cage Type - Screen, 12" high
Lighting - Low watt heat lamp and 5.0repti
Temperature - 80-65
Plants - Pothos and fake vines
Placement - Sits on a tall dresser in a less populated/traffic area
Location - Northern Indiana
Current Problem - Seemed fine when he arrived, if a bit skinny. Active, aggressive, bright colorings as well as dark. Ate well, moved well though somewhat shaky which I assumed was due to size. About 4 days ago, he went into shed. He didn't attempt to remove it, but sat there miserable looking. I increased misting to help but after a day it was all still there. At that point, I took him out and helped him carefully and got most of it off, left what I couldn't for him to finish. Since then however, he is pale, doesn't move unless I handle him, falls in his enclosure flailing about as if he can't find the next step in front of him. He keeps his eyes closed most of the time, sits and appears to sleep all day and night and last night after him nearly falling several times, I removed him to a deli cup with paper towel bunched in it, and slightly damp for humidity so he wouldn't harm himself. I have gotten him to drink twice in these 4 days and attempted some reptaboost without much success. He pooed today and I didn't see any yellow or orange but have a picture if helpful. His eyes seem somewhat sunk in, though they did a bit when he first arrived so not sure about that. Any advice would be helpful and I'd be grateful.
