What temperature are you keeping it at? What is the humidity in the habitat? What are you feeding it?
To me it kind of sounds like basic calcium deficiency or dehydration.

i feed it crickets , superworms and mealworms recently ran out of cricket so he's been feedng on mealworms 4 abt 2 weeks now.. dont know the humidity and temp tho. but he's got a uvb emitting lamp with him and i mist him daily.
if ever he's got calcium deficiency or if he's dehydrated, what do i need to do?

Ive seen some Chameleons get really lazy and always looking sleepy when they had calcium deficiency, one of the biggest killers of these guys. See if your guy has little red lines allover it body, if not then forget about this and look for a different reason.mightykoreanboy said:
maybe, try spaying the leaves or the cameleon itself with water, should lap up the drops. Make sure also you have a UV light specicifally designed for reptiles so they can properly metabolize the calcium in their diet, without this light the calcium in the diet will be useless.
ok ill try to spray more water on the leaves. now he's asleep all day... really sick! yes he does have UV light made specifically for reptiles
