is there anything that can be done if a veiled's casque is bend or mis-shapened, there is a curve on my veiled casque when looking at him from a frontal view head to tail. Anyone able to help me?:confused:
 
I would get a vet to look at your chameleon ... a bent casque can be one of the early signs of MBD.

How long have you had the chameleon?
Did it have the bend in the casque when you got it?

What UVB lights do you use (brands and UVB rating)?
What is the temperature in the basking area?

What to you feed your insects? Please be specific.
What supplements (brands) do you use and how often do you use each?

powersun 100w UV/Heat Bulb Combo, Rep-Cal Calcium on meals every other day generally, zoomed repisafe water sterilizer, and vita-rep additive twice a week. And i have a dripper that i keep running constantly on a low setting and i mist the enclosure interior in the morning, when i get home, and before i go to bed. I also have a live non-toxic plant that i keep in his cage because thats generally where he likes to aquire the plant material in his diet. Other than his casque he lookes very healthy, he has good weight, is only grouchy for the breif momments in which I am removing him from his cage, he does not darken though but does his a lightly nip a couple times and then eventually crawls onto my hand and even will fall asleep while i am holding him during the night. anything you guys can give me will help but im thinking i might have to pay the vet a visit.

BTW...forgot to answer before...I don't know of any way to straighten the casque. The questions above were meant to try to make sure that it doesn't get worse.
