Sounds like he may have mbd. Grabbing legs, falling, bending of the legs are all signs of it. Hurry and fill out that form and take your cham to the vet Jann provided.

You carefully have to choose what vet you go and visit. Have you tried Jannb's suggestion?

Multiple falling can be a lot of things, and without further details, we can not really help you. Please fill in what Warrix posted, and also give us a few recent pictures of your chameleon.

Please, don't take too long as your chameleon seems in danger already...
