Chameleon With broken leg

[Chameal]

What should we do? It is her left back leg. Is there a way to tape the leg so that it heals faster. We are pretty sure it is broken because it has a bruise and the bone looks like it is in the wrong position. (not extremely though). Thanks!

Awww poor thing! Do you know how it happened? I think you would need a vet to do an X-ray then they will know the best way to bandage it

Thanks for your help but now it just looks bruised!

Could you post a picture of your chameleon? If she really did break something it may mean she has MBD and her bones are frail. Could you also post your lighting and supplement schedule?

I agree. Please post a picture and fill out the how to ask for help form, if it is broken your little baby could be in a lot of pain. I would recommend a vet ASAP

I agree with what has already been said. Vet, ASAP- While you are waiting fill out the Questionnaire. I'll post a link. Fill in answers with as much DETAIL as possible. Post on here with some pics of enclosure and your chameleon and then it leg. Then print out a copy of the questionnaire for the vet. It will help them see better what is going on. Good luck
