Sick or dying need advice

[CorneliusChameleon]

lately I noticed Cornelius who is about a year old has been sleeping during the day a lot and I know that’s not normal. I’ve been misting him doing my routine for him his temps were all good and normal then today I woke up him being dull pale light green at the very bottom of his enclosure then when I picked him up his eyes were rarely open and he didn’t react much as not caring to do anything is he dying or sick idk what to do. I put him on a dry towel to show you how he looks and a clear picture but I’m worried

Hey, normally you'd hear a welcome to the forum, but I think you're in an emergency situation right here. Get your little one to a vet ASAP. Today. It honestly may be too late. That chameleon is extremely thin and weak.

Focus on vet help. Once you've gotten that we can look at husbandry as well.

Hi. Poor little guy needs a good vet asap if he’s to have any chance, and even then I’m afraid it may be too late. He looks awfully small for being a year old.

You were asked by @Beman back in 2022 to fill out the form @Mrjamwin has posted here…too bad you didn’t. It might have saved your chameleon from what is happening now.

It needs to see a good exotics chameleon vet right away…like yesterday. It’s on deaths doorstep. it may ready be too late for it. So sorry to have to tell you that.
