I will put him under his light and continue giving water. I place a cricket in his mouth and tried to kind of push it back, etc and he didnt respond..
He is still trying though and I dont want to give up. I'm really so sad. Tears in my eyes. .I want to save my little guy. His name is Chameleo Estevez and he is my friend.

is it taking water down? try some watered down canned protein paste(for cats). That is if it is taking water.
There is little much else you can do at this stage. I have had to use cathoters, injecting fluids into the cham directly(bypassing the mouth). DO NOT TRY THIS PLEASE(for vets only)...it is kind of too late but don't give up. i can see you care about the little guy. Pray man....who knows.

Its no good. I opened his mouth, un rolled his tongue a little and put the cricket in. He isnt even trying to pull his tongue back in.. Theres got to be something I can do for f..k's sake!
I dont want him to die. Isnt there anything else I can do? Please? I saw him this afternoon at about 1pm and he was fine. Well, he was on his vine chilling in the 'sun'. Yesterday I saw him stalking like he was hunting the cricket. I dont understand what couldve been the problem.
If I cant save him, is there some humane way for me to just end it? I cant stand to see him there struggling. It breaks my heart.
God doesnt care about reptiles.

My opinion is this. From what I have heard, it is very hard to work with chameleons younger than 4 months...if yours was only a few weeks old, and you have never owned anything like this before...then I believe its a common occurence to lose them. So dont feel bad. They dont show sickness and yours may have been having problems from the beginning...they are very easily stressed...especially that young.
I am very sorry to hear of your loss....best wishes....

Dont feel bad? He's freaking dead. Yeah, I feel bad. I appreciate your attempt at consolation, but its my fault he's dead and of course I feel really sh*tty for that. I was supposed to take care of him. I was supposed to be looking out for him and I failed him. I let him waste away to nothing and I let him die. I tried so hard here at the very end. I'm so sorry.
Now to find an appropriate container for his burial. RIP, Chameleo.
Cant believe how heartbreaking this is!
