please hurry up, need help, he is not eating or drinking

[mohamed]

What can I do more than that, he's not going to give me my money back.

 

[Chase]

Theres nothing you really can do except taking extra good care of it. Good luck

 

[mohamed]

You guys are the most honest ever (((thanks))) I really appreciate the help.

and by the way how can I choose a healthy cham, and how to know if the cham is sick and unhealthy ?

 

[Chase]

Ok, look at your Chameleon's eyes, the top part is caving in. Get one with good looking eyes, also, if its active, and if it has a bit of weight so you know it eats. Also, try to find out the type before buying it because this will help a lot for people who are trying to help you.

healthy chams

Like he said. Be sure his eyes r open and moving around constantly. Make sure he can grab on and hold on. Make sure all his limbs r straight and not soft looking. Skin tight. Make sure he is moving and strong not drunk like falling around and unstable. U can also mix gatorade 50 50 half water and half gatorade and for him to drink a little bit every 4 hours or so. Good luck friend. Chris...

It is Chamaeleo chameleon recticrista.

Good luck with him.

Well Kent ...
That's a species I have never heard of!
You are way better at identifying chams than I am!
Do you have any pictures?

I made the original ID from pictures in Necas' book but after searching the net I found these:

I didn't know that you could do that. Wouldn't the sugar make it sick?

Hey Mohamed,

I have been following this post and I am so sorry you were sold such a sick animal. Nice work on the id Kent. Mohamed, if you get another chameleon, just please do a lot of research right here on this forum before your next purchase. There are a great deal of shaddy chameleon brookers out there and they will tell you what ever they think you want to hear to make the sale. Believe me, it happens more then any of us would like to admit. But all I can say is educate yourself so you dont have to go through this heartache again. Research, research, research and learn as much as you can. We will always be here to help too!!

Good luck,

Dell

[AFH]

Sorry to hear that, Mohamed. You've got a good setup going, do some reading and try again.

 

[mohamed]

thanks guys

 

[dodolah]

aww
sorry you get to deal with the lousy seller.

 

[rcmike]

Sorry to hear that. I really didn't think he would make it and being in that shape I doubt there was anything you could do.
