He gets mostly natural sunlight and I have the two lights in his Basking spot. He is a pet smart chameleon and it was bent when I got him sometimes it does seem to straighten out?

Like Kiyonga said, that natural lighting is no good if it has to pass through glass. Glass filters out 98% of UVB. I'd get him a UVB light if I were you.

Kinda what I was thinking.

Yes he has the uvb light in his basking spot. The temp in the room stays around 73 but in his spot it is 91. I water him several times a day he drinks from straight from the mister as well as eating the plants. I gutload all of the bugs too

What do I do
Is this natural light passing through glass? Does he have a UVB light in his set up?
Please post another photo of him from the side.I need to see his arms and legs without leaves in the way.
Do you dust the insects and feed/gutload them well? How does he get water?
What's the temperature in the room?

Take him to the vet he's going to need special calcium and answer the questions kinyonga asked and I suggest filling out the how to ask for help form located in the health section

Yes he has UVB. I dust the insects with fluker's and gut load them

He had a check up last month the vet said he was the best looking chameleon he'd ever seen. He specalizes in reptiles. So from the X-ray and blood work he did before it's defiantly not MBD. He gets he proper diet and water intake and I have the proper plants for him as well. I have two light set ups with the UVB lights. We also have outside time with no glass. He is very strong and well tempered.
Is there another reason besides any of these that that is there?

He has definitely been affected by MBD at some point. His forearm is almost a U shape instead of being straight.
Im not familiar with flukers supplements. Are you dusting with a multi-vitamin and calcium with D3 twice per month? Dusting with calcium no D3 every feeding? When was the last time the UVB bulb was changed? UVB bulbs emit less UVB rays as they age even though the light is still bright.

I change the lights out about every 3 months. I'll check the calcium dust and see what it says. I am new to all of this but I do daily care for him and have tried to provide the best possible care I can. When I got him from pet smart I couldn't stand seeing him in that little enclosure and he had that bend then. So I thought it was normal but I thought I'd see what was going on. Ok so what can I do to reverse this?
