I got him 2 months ago. Then I realized he has something on his mouth. So what should I do ? There are no reptile vets in my country. So if I have to use some medicine please give their name to me. And this is not my first cham. I'm with panthers about 3 years. I'm breeding them. I am not new to chameleons. This is my first health problem about chameleons. (He seems dehydrated in the pics but he gets water 7 times in a day, from Mist King)

Hi he looks very dehydrated to me. His eyes are very sunken. Sometimes chameleons need to be showered or misted longer before they actually start drinking. It takes a good 3-5 minutes till my chams will drink. Has he been eating?
 
It does look like there could be some mouth rot. If it is it should be cleaned out and the chameleon out on an antibiotic that will kill the bacteria involved.

His head pads are not protruding enough and the eyes are sunken somewhat. There are a number of reasons for this. It could be an infection/he chameleon is not well, could be dehydration, could be an age thing if he's old.

It should see a vet but I know you said there aren't any.
 
Thanks for replying. Yes I know about dehydration thing. I'm trying my best to heal him. I'll drip water while he is eating. About the mouth rot. What can I do for him. I saw Hydrogen Peroxide could be useful. What do you think ? I wish there are some reptile vets in my country.
