Anyone else's Chameleon sleep with their tongue out a little?

[Yearby90]

can u take a pic looking straight on the face fro the front when his tounge is in and mouth closed?

This is the best I could do and this was from the other day. Don't want to bother him while he's sleeping.

Your vet didn't mention he had MBD?

I think he has a case of MBD that could also be what is wrong with his mouth, and tongue.

I had him at the vet on Tuesday 1/5/16 and the exotic vet didn't think he had MBD.

No

What did your vet say was the reason for the huge bow in his front legs???

 

[LindsayG]

His legs look broken or previously broken. He has some double elbowing going on. They shouldn't be real curvy like that.

He said he had some bowing in his front legs but that quite common and that all his grips and other bones and structures looks good.

he doesnt have a terrible sick look in his eyes thankfully his mouth seem closed ok..ive never had an animal do that in about 28 years so this is out of my realm of experience

I'm not a vet, but if it were me I would get a second opinion.

Like I said he's eating, drinking and makes trips around his cage all day long and his poops are normal.

I meant more photos because I thought I saw MBD. The site wouldn't let me go back and correct it nor would it let me reply again until now. Sorry...but at least now you know about the MBD. You need to see a good vet so you can get some calcium injections to correct the MBD. How are you supplementing/dusting and feeding/gutloading the insects?

I think there is nothing major problem with the cham,since your vet already did an exam on him,if you want to be sure ,you can always get a second vet opinion..."Psssst" im not sick plz dont scare me folks.

I gutload my crickets with the flukers Orange cube food. I dust 3 times a week with repticalcium without d3 and I dust with herptivite every other Sunday and dust repticalcium with d3 every other Sunday.

Mostly hunts the crickets down in his cage but will also eat from my hand.

ok so one thing to do is check really good for sharp stuff lke even glue on plastic plants sharp edges in fake plant molds edges that are sharp..freyed screen wire..etc i would start phazing out fake plants..and devise a way to provide high levels of humidity. My self i use live pothos growing in clone buckets full of water and other plants n the cage

I have a live jasmine bush in my cage the only fake thing I have are my fluker vines and one purple fluker vine. I have a dripper in my cage and I will start letting my fogger run longer. I also mist my cage too.

best way to know is get a sensor and monitor at your desk i can promoise you thats a too low humidty environment even with a back and sides ..which i use to trap humidity in its pretty tough to maintain unles you like in a tropical place like florida. Dont believe me look up historical data on madagascar right now its 100% thunderstorms all week
