He is adorable!!! Since you just got him did you confirm with a tail spur you for sure have a boy? Welcome to the group both of you! Does he have a name yet also?

 

[UnicornDancer]

He has the spurs on his back feet. And I named him Snickerdoodle.

 

[GrannyK]

Great! Sorry I completely overlooked that by his cuteness, you did say his name originally, I just love rabies pic I totally miss the words lol

 

[GrannyK]

Babies not rabies oh my goodness I’m a hot mess Sorry again.

Hi and welcome! He’s adorable. I do have to ask where you got him from. I also have to offer to go thru all of your husbandry for him or at the least, ask where you learned about his care from. I see a couple of things that make me wonder if he got all that he needs for uvb and/or supplements in his previous home. If you’re wanting to do a husbandry review, just ask. It’s not at all easy getting started with these cuties and most of us have had some rough starts.

Thanks I got him at PetSmart I have been reading about his care and needs on the forum but would appreciate any advice on his care. I have already located a veterinarian that can care for him if needed.

The best advice I can give is to learn all you can, ask questions and make sure that all of your husbandry is as perfect as possible to keep your little sweetie healthy and vibrant with you for many years to come. A great place to learn is https://chameleonacademy.com/chameleon-husbandry-program-getting-started-with-chameleons/

Hey there welcome to the forum... Not to limit your excitement but this baby is showing signs of MBD (bumps on the ribs and the lean to the top of his casque). Pretty common with big box store babies. You want to get your husbandry specifically UVB lighting and supplementation on point to stop the progression.

Thanks I’ll make sure I get that done
