[Thecrabman]

Hi, this guy is up for sale and I want to buy him but I dont know alot about chameleons (I'm a tortoise guy) it comes with everything i would need but does he look healthy i current owner says he is 6 months old feeding on crickets and mealworms

He looks fine on the pics but you should fill out how to ask for help form. You can find it in health clinic forums just copy it and write down your answers and post it here and somebody will review your husbandry.

I can tell from the pictures that some things are wrong. I also suggest filling out the help form.

Guys he can't fill out the form... He is thinking about buying this boy....

As far as the cham he does not look bad. But that does not mean that he does not have parasites or other health issues due to possible improper husbandry. Incorrect UVB lighting and supplementation can lead to MBD along with other issues.

Mealworms should never be fed. Too low in nutritional value...

You want to ask them about the UVB lighting (screw in bulbs are bad) and you want to ask about the supplements being used. I would also ask if they have done a fecal on the chameleon.

If you can get pics of the whole cage we can tell you what all you would have to replace.

I would personally take the form to the new people.....
That is just me, and only if I knew to in the first place. Which I wouldnt if I were new here....

I just wouldnt buy one who already has bad husbandry (like my first buy lol). Thats the only reason i brought up the form.

Based on what I see in the cage I wonder if the owners would even know the answers. I agree about buying one with bad husbandry!
