Help.. small chameleon.

[Chameleonaire13]

I have had my veiled chameleon since it was less than a month old. It's about to be a year and and it seems to have stopped growing. I have a friend who bought a veiled chameleon around the same time and his is twice the size of mine. Any one know what might be going on?

Your cham looks dehydrated. His wrists and ankles should not be swollen like that. Looks like gout to me. I would take him to the vet and also get a fecal sample to test for parasites.

Your chameleon looks to have a form of gout (pseudo or not) this is worry some being that gout is vary difficult to treat. You need to get that chameleon to a experienced reptile vet for identifying the gout and some from of a treatment plan. Your chameleon is in a great deal of pain and you don't want it to suffer anymore than it is here is some info...

Overall, I agree with everyone above. He needs a vet visit to get those ankle looked at. The fact that you say he isnt growing is also a concern. Could be parasites or a general lack of proper nutrition.
