My chameleon has just came from constipation about three days ago and he is not eating. He is a 1 year and a half. Any help will be pleased.

How many days has it been since he has eaten?

If he has/had digestive problems, then I wouldn't worry about food right away. Make sure he is super-hydrated. (using pedialyte even better)

Keep offering food on a regular basis, but if there isn't interest, remove the food and try again later.

Did he clear out the ole intestines?

One of the first signs of dehydration is loss of appitite.
another sign would be constipation. You should be misting for 15 minutes, two to four times a day depending on chameleon type and temps.
