please help rango. The last couple of days our jackson has been acting very strange. He won't eat and tends to sleep all day long. He doesn't look stressed, he is a bright green to almost aqua. when you go to pick him up, he falls to sleep in your hands but stays the same green color. We have had him for about 3 months and he is usually active during the day. Rango use to eat about 5 crickets a day. We have a large cage with a water drip system and a live hibiscus plant. we don't use a light because he live in Hawaii. if any ideas about what is wrong with rango please reply back.:(
Thanks

A chameleon who "sleeps" all day is sick. Please got to a reptile vet as soon as possible. Meanwhile you can fill out the form above and see whether your cage setup needs to be changed in any way.

agreed. They do not "sleep" during the day. Something is quite wrong.
