Shaking Cham?

[Jensen1232]

So, I've had my chameleon Atlas for a while (almost a year now) and he's been healthy the whole time. He recently started shaking and turning a very pale green. He seems to not be able to move much without shaking and he is staying at the top of the cage. (Mesh cage) I've read that this can be the beginning signs of MBD, but I have a full coverage uva/uvb light at the appropriate temperature and he's still acting unusually. I've also been using a calcium with D3 supplement on his crickets and have started feeding him dubais recently (not many though). Nothing drastic has changed but this shaking started when I cleaned his cage the other day. Last night he slept on the roof of his cage. Any help or suggestions as to how to fix this?

Just as a start, the calcium with D3 should only be used twice a month. Calcium without D3 for daily dusting..

Yeah I don't use the powder that often. He's still shaking but everything seems normal.

Can you take a video of this behavior?

Yeah I don't use the powder that often. He's still shaking but everything seems normal.

Do you use calcium without D3 every day?

 

[Jensen1232]

He is not doing it now actually. I'm not sure why. He never lets me touch him so I'll just send a picture. I'm pretty sure he looks healthy. If he does it again I'll post a video

Did you use any cleaning products? If so what kind?

 

[Jensen1232]

I gutload with kale and carrots for the crickets, but at my local stores all supplements with calcium also have D3. Is there any brand you'd recommend?

 

[KapitalJ]

looks like he's waiting for some food!! lol..

 

[Jensen1232]

no cleaning products. Only water. I've heard products are very harsh on them

 

[Jensen1232]

haha he's always hungry! I just fed him a bunch though haha. He's my little glutton lol

I use "ZooMed - Repticalcium" without D3 not sure if it the best one out there. But it is what I use.

okay awesome! Thanks so much. That might be why he's been shaking. I'll be watching him the next couple of days and I'll find a supplement with calcium only. Thanks so much!

He looks good in the pic. Hopefully it's nothing.

im sure its the calcium. The shaking is his only symptom so I'll just get him a proper supplement soon.
