Sick chameleon!

[Noahtb54]

My 6 month old male veiled chameleon has been acting strangle Lately. I've had him for a week he seemed happy. He's been eating and drinking some. He's been sitting in the same spot for most of the day and fell asleep earlier in the afternoon, which I know is not good. The humid and temp have been all in good ranges and it started out of no where. I've added a few more basking sticks since this picture but he's been acting really lazy today

Have you been coating your feeders with calcium regularly and D3 every other week or so? What else do you feed your chameleon besides crickets/worms? any vegetables or greens? How often do you feed and at what time(s)? how much are you feeding?

Have you checked his poop lately?

Sometimes sudden dramatic changes in behavior are a good sign of a parasite, taking him to vet would be a very good idea

or he might just be very bored or depressed but I would really take him to a vet right away

I feed him crickets around the afternoon and he eats them up. I coat with calcium and vitamin d.

Could it be from handling him?

His poop was brown he's only pooped once and I've had him for a week. His urate was somewhat white but had yellow which meant dehydratinon so I misted him and gave him a shower which seemed to cheer him up a lot but today he's back to being lazy and fell asleep like a rock earlier. I had to take him out of his cage for him even to wake up.

Fill this out. I get the feeling your dusting schedule is off.

I've dusted the crickets with calcium ad vitamin D both when I feed him once a day

 

[ChamDE86]

Please fill out the form. He should not be falling asleep in the afternoon. Also, you should only be dusting calcium WITHOUT d3 at every feeding and calcium WITH d3 & vitamins twice a month.

Sorry I'm correcting myself the calcium I feed him is without d3 and the other is a multi vitamin... So could giving him to many multilingual vitamins cause this? I've had him for 5 days and dusted the crickets with calcium without d3 and the multivitamins as well..

I fed him the multivitamins everyday. I think that could be my problem....

I don't think the supplements would have caused this in a week. What vitamin powder are you using.

What is the basking temperature in his cage?

 

[ChamDE86]

Not to sound blunt, but I'm really trying to help you by ruling out any other issues on top of what you're already doing wrong. This would be so much easier if you would just fill out the form on the link I provided.

Basking temp is around 80-83 the calcium and multi vitamins came with the reptibreeze chameleon kit the calcium is without d3 and the multivitamins have several ingredients in it
