Sunken eyes and a decrease in appetite in a chameleon are significant signs of dehydration and potential underlying illness. Chameleons require very specific husbandry, including proper hydration through misting, a drip system, or a fogger, and strict temperature and humidity gradients. Lack of appropriate environmental conditions is a common cause of these symptoms. It's crucial to review your chameleon's enclosure setup, including lighting (ensure proper UVA/UVB), temperature, humidity, and diet. Incorrect nutrition can also lead to complications. This situation warrants prompt veterinary attention, ideally from a vet experienced with exotic pets, as chameleons can decline quickly.
