So my wife and I rotated getting up every hour during the night to check on him. He was able to hang on the fake vine all night long without falling once. That is a great sign! This morning he perked right up when I turned on his Power Sun, he drank some more water from the dropper and ate 5 more dusted wax worms. I am going to Lowes on my lunch break today to get some dowels to make climbing posts that I can anchor in his new cage so it will be ready to go when he is strong enough to climb. I will try and snap some pics of him when I get home if he is looking any better.

Alright here is todays update...i am taking the vet and everyone on the chameleon forums recomendation and putting him in a proper enclosure where he can climb...i have spent the past two hours setting this up with padding just in case he does fall...i have dowels attached firmly in place everywhere so he will always have a place to grab onto...hopefully this perks him up even more...http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/16/9u8yme8y.jpg

Well we are making baby steps in the right direction...he fell last night but i caught him...we are putting him on the top branches to bask when we are around and moving him to the bottom if we have to leave the house...he at 3 more dusted wax worms this morning and took another 3cc of water from a syringe. His prolapse still hasnt gone back in, so i will give it until sat before heading into the vets office again...hopefully by then he has some weight on him so we can treat the eye infection.
