Chams fall in the wild all the time. They use it as a defense mechanism sometimes if a predator gets too close they'll just let go and fall to the ground. I'm sure your baby is okay, just keep an eye on him. No need to be worried

Just watch him though, you said earlier that your cham was stuttering when walking. Although it happens, chameleons are very balanced and don't fall all of the time. So I would be careful.

he walks fine, but when he's not moving he just lets them dangle, both legs now, he has excess shed skin on both back feet, i have but worm water on both today at least 5 times.

Is the skin under the feet...on the bottom of his feet?

yes

It could be uncomfortable and that's why he's hanging his legs down.

I would soak his feet in water.he needs the shed off the bottoms of his feet. Just hold him gently, so all 4 feet are in the water. At least 10 minutes at a time, 4 times a day. After the third time GENT!Y rub you finger across the bottom of his feed and see if it is starting to come off.

He's to small to hold.. I tried. Can I take a container fill it with water just enough to cover his feet and let him chill.
