My chameleon's eyes look sunken, and he's not very active. Is he dehydrated?

[]

Answer

Sunken eyes and lethargy in a chameleon are strong indicators of dehydration, but can also be symptoms of other underlying health issues. Chameleons require specific humidity and hydration levels, often getting water from misting or a drip system. Ensure his enclosure has proper humidity and he has access to clean, fresh water. If he's not improving, refuses to eat, or shows other concerning signs, it's critical to seek veterinary care from a reptile specialist. Dehydration can quickly become life-threatening for reptiles. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
