I'm happy to say that whatever it WAS. The swelling has subsided and he is no longer dangling the left leg.
He looks sturdy and healthy now.
I'm going to suppose it's because of his improved level of care and I'll pat myself on my back.
Thanks
I've been doing a lot of reading on the subject and there is a huge gray area about what causes it and what treats it in lizards.
Pretty unfortunate.
I'm going to feed him mostly crickets and monitor him closely.
He ate, drank and now he's perched on a branch with that left leg dangling....
Your Chameleon - male Jacksons. Sub adult. I've had him just 3 weeks.
Handling - seldom. Only when necessary

What's your thought?
Boy or girl?
Now they come with the substrate tray?
Man. I complained like crazy when I had to buy mine separately!!
They should've ALWAYS been included. But they costed like an extra 30 bucks.
This location used to be called: THE JUNGLE FLORIDA. That place was about the worst excuse for a reptile store ever...
Now under new ownership, I cannot stress how much better this place is now. Not just a new name: COLD BLOODED KINGDOM. But a new owner that actually invested in new equipment...
My Chameleons are thriving. However. I'm having issues with space on top of my 3 REPTIBREEZE XXL cages. Each has a T5 HO UVB strip tube fixture. A T5 plant grow light (thankfully Im only growing low light tolerant pathos) a spot light. A dripper and MISTKING nozzles.
Recently I found these on...
