Sneeze attack

[Ralphiethecham]

So Ralphie (my 4 month old chameleon had escaped about a month or two ago. I also posted a thread on here about it. He escaped a second time but didn’t manage to make it out of my room. Anyways getting to the point every since Rhodes two escape attempts he hasn’t been acting the same. Usually he would go running for crickets as soon as he saw them. But now he doesn’t seem to interested the only thing to get him going is super worms. He will however eat crickets of the side of his cage throughout the day but it’s usually one every now and then not 10-20 in one eating session. He has also developed some sort of sneeze. Ik chameleon can sneeze from built up salts and things like that but I haven’t noticed any white around his nose. He sneezes atleast 3-4 times a day. Which. Seems like a problem to me. He is in a 2x2x4 reptibreeze enclosures. He has regular poops( normal color, size and consistency) but he just seems to not be his usual self. Any chance he might’ve gotten into something while he was browsing around my house when he escaped?

Get a fecal to be tested at the vet to make sure he does not have parasites... And take him to a reptile vet to be checked out.

Maybe switching up the feeders? He could be getting tired of crickets...try some silks, roaches, bsfl. Not sure about the sneezes, like Beman said take him to the vet.

A little off topic from the sneezing issue, but have you done anything to keep him from escaping again?

Sneezing I would get a vet check up done to rule out anything like a URI. You can also switch your water to filtered or distilled to rule out excess mineral excretion.
