This is Nelson and was just wondering how he looks to you? Any signs of MBD? I am concerned on his back legs look so fat at the joints. He casque was already small when I got him from the pet shop. He was neglected there.
How do I look?

I think the joints look fat just because his legs are quite thin. i see no obvious signs of mbd. His eyes look a little sunken though. well done for helping him, I hope you can get him back into peak condition.

His eyes....
I know I try to keep him hydrated and I NEVER see him drink anymore. I mist at the least 5 times a day in there. I just bought some hornworms to help him with hydration. I am unsure of what else I can do to stimulate him to drink more. He used to open his mouth when I sprayed and I would spray water into his mouth. But not so much anymore. Today before these pictures he seen me coming with the water bottle and ran up to me. He loves being sprayed but on his terms only....

That doesn't surprise me. Typical chameleon then
I guess there's nothing else you can do, no need to force it.

Love his colors!
I'm not an expert aside from spending hours and hours staring at MBD pics, driven by a deep seated fear that my beloved guys could suffer that way.
With that disclaimer, your chams legs look fine to me. As others have stated, he looks like he could use some additonal hydration. Perhaps its shower time!

Yes...
His eyes always look that sunken. His urates are white big and separate from his poop which is brown... Reminds me of bird droppings. He has a mister and is misted extra. I have been trying to find him a home but don't know how to ship and sort of afraid so I just keep him and love his little men butt....
I am going to start a rain dome in there. But need more plants to collect the extra water....

He is very mean...
But if I can get him to someone that wants to breed him or give him a forever home fine, if not that is fine too. I had people here that would take him just lost contact after my surgery. Also had someone from Craigslist but he didn't have a proprt set up so I decline his offer to take him.
Oh and I mist him about three to five times a day.....

He may have parasites, does the poop look runny to you? That is what I think when I think bird droppings.
