She doesn't look like a fat liver candidate. But in fact, we can't see it from the outside. She doesn't have a bulged casque or those "chubby cheeks" (as far as I can see it from the sideview), but these signs stay for a really obese stage. We can't see nearly anything in between. Due to this, I'm up to date trying to create a table about proper weights in Furcifer pardalis and Chamaeleo calyptratus, oriented to size of the abdominal fat pads and organ conditions (in relation to age and chameleon size). But it's hard to differentiate and it's only a little beginning, it may take some years for results (if there will be some at all). Actually I advice people to feed only few days a week and only few feeders (adults) to avoid fatty animals. But you can see the results not until you do an x-ray, ultrasound or an operation due to other problems. That's our big problem in reptiles and the necessary amount of food...
Alex, thank you so much for looking and giving me your opinion. Here's a front view made today so you can see her casque. I'm thinking I might need to cut her food back just a little bit more????
