One thing to look for is minimum movement. Meaning, they stop eating, lay at the bottom of the cage for three days, until you pick them up to put him in the heat. Once that happens, you might want to check out some information about it. And maybe check into looking for a vet.

Usually that is in the advanced stages though. You don't want it to ever get that far if you can help it. The real key is to know your chameleon. Know their habits, behavior and movement. If their joints begin looking slightly bent or swollen, go to a vet. Don't wait until he has been lying on the enclosure floor for three days.

Very well put. I never noticed anything before that, when I noticed it was when he stopped eating. He always ate and moved around. I couldn't understand how it happened so fast.
