Infection of what???

And by raising your light up like that(they should be directly on screen) you are depriving your chameleon even more of the uvb he should be getting. He basically has gotten no uvb and so little calcium you have caused him to develop MBD. Pkease take him to a vet asap.

Also please look at some enclosure threads on how to set up your cage properly. No lights at night either! You need way more foliage and vines and branches. There is not enough and that is why your chameleon is clinging to the sides of the cage. Here is one of my cages to give e you an idea...

Please READ this carefully and take the necessary steps to help your chameleon. Take him out in the sun if your climate allows. https://www.chameleonforums.com/threads/what-metabolic-bone-disease-mbd-looks-like-how-it-happens-and-how-to-fix-it.95071/

Oh my your chameleon has MBD! When was the last time you changed out uvb bulb? You should also be using 5.0 or 10.0 linear bulb for uvb. So you dusted your crickets "like 5 times" since you owned him? Also your poor chameleon can not even get underneath his basking and uvb light . You...

If that is the case, in months to come you will need a laying bin for eggs. The females lay eggs without being mated. Search on here for how to set up thr bin. That can be later though. Right now you have to make many changes to your set up in order for your chameleon to survive. I would...

I think it was the way you worded it that it could be misunderstood. Don't take it personally!

I have seen advice given before for respiratory infections and that was to increase temps. I dont know if that is wrong or right. I dont know about curing it without antibiotic treatment though. Usually that is the protocol for survival. I had to dose a 2 gram panther cham for parasites...

Beautiful. Love the lime green!

The way you have branches set up he can not get underneath heat ligjt!

Sounds like he is in good hands with you. Try not to worry too much about it! I know you want the best for him!!!

Please research the enclosure threads to give you some ideas. Please change out uvb bulb to linear tube. You need atleast one branch run horizontally below your basking light about 6 inches down so he can warm up. If it is warm where you live by all means take him outside for some natural...

Rigjt in the back of their heel. Refer to picture I posted.

He looks great too me and I told you how edema will come and go. Personally I think a vet is a waste of time and money, not to mention stressfull on the animal itself when it comes to this condition. Just my 2 cents.

I do not see a spur. Looks like a female to me!

Impossible to know bloodline unless you know the breeder.

Males have a bump or a thing called a tarsal spur

Need to see back of the back heel to be sure.

He's cute! What a lucky boy!

The question is how did he have access to a Lego head?!
