Sorry, I guess I was in a little bit of a hurry when I typed that. I know the current housing isn't perfect, but they're still small, and opposite sexes, so I figured for the time being it wouldn't be detrimental with them having so much room. They have 2 UVB lamps, one for the top of the plant, one for the bottom and a ceramic heater just to provide that much more heat and lighting when its cloudy.
They get unfiltered sun for about 3-4 hours a day, their window is a 5'X4' picture window, no screen, its open most days and they have no access out the window. I feed them about 10-15 small feeders a day, or however much they can eat. They're not my first chameleons and def. not my first reptiles.
I don't over dust the feeders as I've read that that can cause just as many problems as not dusting.
I just don't understand why it was so sudden. They dont have any deformities, or even the beginning signs. It was literally over a couple hours that they started acting like this. I kept them extra warm last night and showered them today on schedule, they seem to be walking fine and they don't seem to be in pain when they try to eat, but they still cant extend their tongues...they did deficate today and the feces seemed to be abnormally large, is it possible that they could both be impacted and that's causing the problem?
