My veiled chameleon is about 6 weeks old and I noticed he was closing his eyes during the day and he was laying on the leaves I've never seen him lay before and he stopped eating so much. I'm worried about him and I don't know what to do.

First, find a good herp vet or get a referral to one as you may need them for any medications or treatment as well as a diagnosis. Next, start thinking over your husbandry. Has anything changed? What lighting are you using, what temps, humidity, gutloads, supplement dusts, and how often. How do you water, how much is he disturbed or handled? Is he getting enough sleep at the proper temps? We can't begin to help you without knowing how you are set up.
