Hello! I am a new Cham owner. I just received this guy yesterday as a Christmas present from someone who didn't know that chams from pet stores are not the greatest. I have 30 days to return it and I just want expert opinions on his appearance health wise and if there is even a slight indication of MBD. He seems to shake a little sometimes when he walks and I don't mean the leaf walk. He also hasn't eaten since I've received him which I assume is normal hopefully since he's adjusting to his new surroundings. I also haven't seen him drink, I mist 3 times a day on top of his normal dripper. His basking temp is 85-89 degrees. He had 2 poops/ pee one yesterday and 1 today and they looked normal, I know for a fact he hasn't eaten though cause I gave him 4 crickets in a cricket cup and they are still there. I know you can only tell so much in pictures, which I will include 2 of him and 1 of his home, but any opinion will count! He is approx 4-5 months old. Thanks for your help!

Well I would say outwardly he looks pretty healthy. As far as him not eating it could be he's settling in or he's not a cup feeder. If he doesn't eat by morning I'd let the crickets loose in his cage.
Awesome Cham. And good luck!!
 
Thank you for your reply! He started to eat yesterday! I'm so glad :) I also haven't seen him shake anymore. We were definitely lucky getting such a healthy guy from a pet store.
