Could be a lot of things that cause lethargy. I am not sure which chameleon is the best to keep as a pet, i don't know if you have to care for different species of them differently, or if you can handle them the same..

New Chameleon not moving much Hey there, i just bought a young veiled chameleon yesterday, however now that he is in his enclosure, hes not really moving much from his perch.

We were shocked and amazed! i don't take the crickets out if he doesn't eat them and i believe they are slowly disappearing.
