Enclosure Specs
-18x18x36 (all mesh).
-60w house light.
-reptisun 100b UVB. (I have recently turned this off since i learned that could be the reason hes inactive, with no success yet.)
-I keep his basking spot in the 85-90 range and humidity at around 65-70 but no lower than 50.
-No night lights because hes in a screen cage and my house is around 70-75 at night.
-I like to mist 2-3 times a day, but sometimes more if the humidity is down.
-Currently i have a humidifier running 24/7
-He has two fake leave branches, a large sandblasted stick, and a large vine. ( I've bought a live ficus and some more decor for him but they haven't arrived from LLLreptile yet because of a shipping delay.)
-No substrate, just newspaper for the bottom.
Chameleon Info
-I'm not sure how old he is but he's about 5-7 inches with his tail out. So maybe 4-5 month old.
-He is a Veiled with a good green color when sleeping and when he isn't stressed. So far, no other colors besides green and the occasional brown/black.
-I've had him for about a week and a half now.
Issues
Not sure what to do, i hand fed and gave him pedialyte mixed 50/50 with water yesterday and got about a full dropper of both baby food and the pedialyte mixture. he didn't want to open his mouth today and didn't get much of either in today. I live about 3 hours from a reptile vet so I'm trying to find an easy solution before I take him on a 6 hour round-trip.
