I’m so confused and upset. My healthy chameleon, honey passed away last night at some point. She was eating, drinking, and poop ing and had just finished shedding. She was fine last night other than I noticed she went to bed early.
Does anyone have any ideas what would cause an otherwise seemingly healthy chameleon to pass like that? I just can’t figure out what happened!
Thank you. This is the type of response I needed to hear. I love my little honey so so much, i was wondering if it was something internal I could have missed and I guess I just needed some reassurance on that.
She wasn’t showing signs of egg binding or anything it was so sudden, literally over night.
Thank you for your kind words and I’m sorry for your recent loss 😔
No supplements just a light calcium dust of the crickets, maybe that was part of the problem? I was told we didn’t need anything other than what we were giving her 🤷🏽♀️
Thank you. I’ve accepted I’m not going to know for sure just curious of thoughts of what it could have been 😔 I appreciate your kind words and sharing thoughts on this! And for the multivitamin tip!
I’m sorry for your loss as well. I’m thinking I probably will not receive an explanation either.
It’s been there since we got her and I was wondering the same thing too, the answer that I was told is that they’re double jointed?
She was only a few months old too 5 months old maybe a little older, I’ve had her since December
She never laid any
She never laid, and I didn’t even know a chameleon could have gout if I’m being honest. 😔

That’s a fair point. She had one living plant in her enclosure, the name escapes me at this moment but before updating the enclosure with the plant I did check to make sure it was not poisonous to her. The other plants were still some fake ones we got when getting her ( I was still updating and changing her enclosure)
She was eating, drinking, moving fine colors were good shedding was normal then last night she went to sleep early and didn’t wake up 🤷🏽♀️ it is entirely possible she had something going on inside that I just didn’t see/catch/or was even aware of. She was my first reptile though too so it’s entirely possible she showed subtle signs that I missed or didn’t know to look for 😭
We were lightly calcium dusting her crickets and she was also being fed meal worms. No other supplements.
We had one red light and one white daylight uvb bulb we got from the pet store
