It sounds like he may be sick and you should probably see a vet.

You should also fill out the form from here https://www.chameleonforums.com/how-ask-help-66/ so everyone here will know your husbandry.

It doesn't sound good, if you have a vet in your area, I would definitely make an appointment to go in. I noticed in your last post that your vet said there was nothing he could do for the Panther, but maybe call him ahead of time and let him know what is going on. It sounds pretty serious, like he has a condition that caused him to fall. I would not put him directly under the heat because when he falls when you do put him under direct light, he may just be using what little energy he has to get away from the heat and since he can't move, he may overheat, so I would put him in a spot that has about an 80 degree Fahrenheit/ 27 degrees Celsius. Since he is laying on the ground, place him on a towel so he is comfortable. Also, do you think he is dehydrated and hasn't been getting much water lately? I would dry to give him water with a dropper/pipette/syringe, or whatever you can use to give him a small amount at a time, but ONLY if he is conscious and able to swallow the water, otherwise he will inhale it and choke. Try to get in to see a vet a soon as you can and give him water, warmth but not heat, and a comfortable place to lay until then.

thanks very much i definitly try to catch the vet tomorrow.
he is still unconscious so I won't try to give him water.

If he's unconcious tomorrow will likely be too late to take it to a vet.
