I know you may not be able to tell much from one picture but from what you can see does this Chameleon look in good health?

He has a burn on his casque.

Pictures are helpful
 
I'm not a expert but that casque looks to be burned and I personally don't like the way his back leg looks. Not sure if that branch is just too small or something is wrong.
 
Just to be clear this isn't my Chameleon, it's one for sale at the moment. The owner says it doesn't have any health issues. It's 20 months old and they've had it from 6 weeks of age.

I'll ask for some more pictures and see if they can provide any.

20 months?!!? either they dont know crap, or thats the smallest grown male ive ever seen.
 
Possibly an old picture? Hopefully they can provide me with some now that I've asked. The only other picture available to me right now is this one:

He's taking some more pics now for me. There's eomthing I want to watch on TV shortly though so it may be an hour before I post them here depending how quick he can send them to me.
 
wow thats a tiny boy if he is really that old. my female is that size and she's 1year old.

He says it's definitely 20 months old. They got it from a reptile centre at 6 weeks of age and his siblings were also small. Apparently a member of staff at the centre had one of his brothers and that one is even smaller.

Is that something that should be of concern?

It is hard to tell the size of the cham without some reference. The picture showing the enclosure is a little deceiving since in his other thread stated that this is a 30x30x75 cage and not the 24x24x48 we are use to seeing.
 
Know he looks like an average size to me. the other pic he looked like a midget cham!:p but he definitely looks ok to me
 
From the picture I noticed the cage did NOT have a UVB lamp....... how does this guy not have MBD after 20 months?! Ask them if they provide any sort of UVB or natural daylight for this guy.

BTW he looks good.... but im concerned with the UVB
 
Which one? His swollen foot? That chunk missing from his crest? Or his super depressed demeanor?

Ok, just kidding, i think he looks fine. Go take more pics of him.

It's a 4ft tube hanging down the left side of the cage, I mistook it for a window at first glance

oh your right.. I see it now... I would find out what brand of lamp and when it was last replaced.... Also... it should be on top next to the heat lamp. Put a basking perch below the lamp so he can get heat and UV at the same time... and if your getting the whole setup I would add some plants... that cage is very bare.
