Hey guys, I've got a friend with a male panther chameleon with which she's having a few problems with, so I thought I'd come to you guys for opinions. She's had him since last September, and is now about 3 and a half years old.
Ok first of all, he gets fed every other day, is misted 2 times a day, and is kept in the giant terrarium. She keeps the ambient temps at about 80 - 83F during the day, and the humidity is between 60-70%. He's also got a basking spot that's around 100F, and it's a fake plant in the cage.
So a couple of days ago, she noticed that her cham has started looking pale, and hasn't been making "angry colours" (as is common among male chameleons, lol
). He's also been rather lethargic and sleepy-looking (he closes his eyes during the day). His eyes seem to have sunken a bit and he hasn't eaten in almost a week. She's already made a vet appointment, but he couldn't see her till Wednesday or Thursday, I think. She's put him in a shower to give him extra water and humidity, but it doesn't seem to be helping.
I'm not asking for a diagnosis or anything, but if anyone has any ideas as to what she can try and do in the meantime until she DOES get to the vet, it would be EXTREMELY appreciated.
Thanks very much in advance,
Kate.
(edit)
She's also given him some repti-aid, but not much because he's not really opening his mouth.
