Help!! Male or female!

Okay! I’ll look into that!
I’ve only had her for a week and I’ve been giving her lightly dusted crickets w/ repticalcium at every feeding. Then I give her reptivite 2 times a month along with her multivitamin, I switch the two every other week. So one Saturday she gets reptivite and the other Saturday she get multivitamins.

Im sure its the stores fault. You seem like you care for your cham. The vet will help you out alot. Liquid calcum supplements and splinting may be needed. I heard that mercury vapour bulbs for bearded dragons help with mbd too.
 
I’m seriously so mad right now. They don’t offer any medical help when buying your animal. I’ve been misting her cage regularly, feeding her consistently with her supplements, making sure her temp and humidity is right. Because the 1st pictures I posted of her that was right when I unboxed her

Time to call the animal hospital because I have no vets that treat Chams in my area
 
Her health is your priority now. If you dont wanna lose her to bone loss,sepsis or any other nasty diseases that attack a weak animal you need to find a good vet. If youre on a budget find something cheap. I understand how hard vet bills can be because i have had at least 30 pets myself over the years. Find a local vet not a chain vet that promotes brands. Even if they tell you what you need you may be able to buy the stuff online.
 
I don't suggest a 12.0, 5.0 is all I suggest for chams, 10.0 uvb or higher is a way to injure eyes especially for new keepers and even for older keepers. Real sunlight and a 5.0 will be all she needs other than, liquid calcium from a vet depending on her weight she likely needs .2-.3 ml, she will need lots of water to keep her kidneys healthy, she will feeders of healthy quality with a high quality food. I am working with Sassyxo over pm. Idk who recommended me to her, or how she found me, but thank you. I am able to make her a dry gutload for her insects that if she can shipping will help a lot with vitamin and calcium content of her insects. Please be careful with too much artificial UVB, more is not better.

Arcadia 12.0 isnt too powerful. Through the mesh at 5inches it gets to about 6% anyway. I own a juvinile so im not really overdoing it. Also i have a canopy of leaves made out of plastic so there is 100% uv protection underneath.

This is how you correctly do it but again, most people do not do it this way when they hear 12.0. Aracadia is the only safe one to do at this percentage as well and still hesitation depending on the size of your cage, there is no need to do it at a certain sized cage. 30 minutes of real sun 2 times a week during 6 months out of the year would be enough to make up for any artificial rays lost all year round. All my chams only get real sun and sometimes only get 4 hours a week. Sometimes 2 hours every day.

The sun literally doesnt exist here;):D
 
Most common bulbs here are reptisun and exoterra I think, everyone recommend reptisun linears or arcadia but getting arcadia is a pain. Because the hoods you buy usually are specific. Or you have to buy from a hardware store and know something about bulbs which a lot of new keepers don't so it's gotten hard sadly. I love arcadia but don't use any artificial because I have all rescues and they benefit more from sun, and I live in Cali so I have sun at least once a week and usuallly a decent temp for at least a few hours for their sun. Ryker was blinded by halogen and uvb all of which were supposedly safe sadly. So I have become very nervous. So I am lucky and abuse my sunlight. Sadly I am aware over in UK you guys don't have sun and have been having snow lately. My fiance lives there.

Cool you basically have a supplier in the UK:):D
 
You should go back to whoever sold you her and be pissed about it she has severe MBD that don’t happen overnight. there’s no way they could of missed that and they sold her to you anyway knowing your not to knowledgeable in chameleon health issues and wouldn’t know I’d say something for sure try to get them to pay the vet bills or say your reporting them to the humane society or something along those lines I’d be really mad... I hope she gets help tho she needs it bad when legs start looking like that
 
I don’t think she would be holding on to the vine like that if it was broke that’s bone deformity from lack of calcium I would say but that’s my opinion I’m no doctor
 
Can anyone tell me if this is a male or femal?
