 |
|
I have a fairly young mellers chameleon, as shown in the picture in the other chameleon thread. But it seems to have come down with an illness. It is loosing weight quite rapidly, and will not move. It spends most of it's time asleep, and refuses to eat. She has a dripper, and we spray her, and she seems to drink a lot, but water is readily available all day. Temp in the day around 20, and a basking spot of around 30c. Night time drop to around 15c, and these are pretty constant figures. If anyone could help, it would be gratefully appreciated.
Many Thanks,
Ian |

what other chameleon thread? the only chameleon photos I've seen on here are Yemen chameleons.
Sounds like you need to bring the temp up, basking spot for a yemen can be 35c plus, background heat of 28c.
Offer a variety of food, only a little at a time or it may get stressed.
If all that fails, get to a vet.
Have you a photo of your chameleon? |
