Hey guys/gals I really appreciate all of your feedback, you may have saved my chams life! I just recently went out a bought a pothos and croton plant fromt he local gardening store and also a dripper system! I took out all of the fake flora and the plants look much better. I am happy to say my chameleon is actually turning the brighter colors and basking better too. I have yet to get the pedialite and dripper but will have my dad pick one up from hospital at which he works. I am sorry to say that the weather here in WI is getting colder and I will not be able to take my cham out unless we get a day of 80 sunny weather. Thanks everyone I will keep you posted on how his recovery is! 8^)

So glad to hear that he is improving!!

If you can't do the pedialite, it's not the end... just mist those real plants several times a day (use warm water - mist fine, and the water cools), so he is able to drink a lot.

If you do get some pedialite (in the grocery store baby section), you can mix it half and half with water for the drip. It may get sticky, so wash your dripper after using anything but plain water.

The IV drippers are cool... but you can always use a magarine tub with a pinhole in the bottom... Just make sure he gets drips a couple times a day - and the drip falls on a leaf. The movement attracts their attention.

Keep us posted... and good luck!
