Unhappy cham deaths genetic???

alrighty...as most of you know i got a female werners chameleon back in december...and to my surprise she had 13 babies!!!...12 of which lived....i sold of all of the babies except one that i kept, one that my girlfriend kept, and one to my friend...when my friends (richard) chameleon was about 3-4 months old...it turned white for about 2-3 days (yet was still 100% active, and eating etc.)then within an hour or so it went from healthy...to dead...yet it ate and was well fed, drank and not dehydrated, had UVB all the time, calcium and vitamin supplements, a nice cage with proper ventallation.....all the stuff needed to keep a healthy chameleon....yet it suddenly died out of no where......

then...this week i noticed that my girlfriends (emily) chameleon turned white for a few days, then got lazy...and died...that chameleon also had all of the proper requirements (i know that because i was looking after it for her while she was away for 6 weeks) so both chameleons did the EXACT same thing and died outa no where the EXACT same way...just at different ages....the only other one of the babies that i know of is the one that i've kept (the one missing toes)...which is fine so far...but there are 9 other babies somewhere out there...this could have happened to them too....could the problem be genetic?...it must be....i checked the chameleons throat etc. to see if there was anything wrong in there but everything looked fine....so if anyone knows what might of happened please reply...im stumped...

thanks,
