Why is bubba's chest pointy?

[BubbaVeiled]

So bubba seems to be doing good. He trusts us and doesn't run away or get scared when he sees us. He even willingly walked on my hand about two times now since I got him. He is always green now and loves his fruit flies. I noticed his chest is really pointy? Anybody ever hear of this?

It looks like it is just the angle, but would need more pictures. You should fill out the how to ask for help.

He looks young so this would be the time to make sure he is dialed in. They grow fast and problems can happen fast.

He does look good though. Cute little guy.

Just looks like the angle and maybe just some skin. If you are growing more concern and this gets irritating to him, go to an exotics vet.

Here's some other angles

Chameleon Info:

• Your Chameleon - veiled, boy, probably about 2 and a half months old
• Handling - girlfriend hand cup feeds sometimes, I've held him about twice. Other than that just look at him
• Feeding - as many fruit flies as he can eat. With the normal calc without D3 every day, with D3 or multivitamins every Sunday. Fruit flies eat banana paste or whatever is in the culture jars from Petco.
• Supplements - Reptical calcium without D3 daily. Reptical reptivite or calcium with D3 every Sunday alternating
• Watering - Filtered water drilling through a milk jug at the top. Mist him 30 minutes before lights on and 30 before lights off.
• Fecal Description - I can never find his poop. The one time I did it looked good. Haven't done fecal test yet.
• History - got him off flchams. Site said he would be 2 months old but he was a tiny little guy when I got him. Was probably almost 1 month old.

Cage Info:

• Cage Type - 2x2x4 reptibreeze screen mesh cage
• Lighting - T5 5.0 HO 36 inch lamp for Uvb. 60 watt soft white basking light.
• Temperature - Whatever the temp in the room is. I live in a hot area. It is between 70 and 80 throughout the day. At night it gets closer to 60. I have a digital thermometer probe, digital hygro and thermometer, and analogue hygrometer with thermomer.
• Humidity - I live in a humid area. It's usually between 60 and 70 percent. Which is why I rarely mist. I mist it up at night to get more humidity.
• Plants - I have 1 shefflera and 1 pothos plant growing in the bottom until I get my dragon strand ledges, then I'll get more live plants.
• Placement - the cage is in my bedroom. Me and my girlfriend are slow moving and chill and quiet guys. We keep everything at a constant chill so he's pretty comfortable with it. The top of the cage is probably about 7 feet up.
• Location - Augusta Georgia

Current Problem - Why is his chest pointy?

The point is normal. It is his rib cage, it is flexible not like ours . I can see it on mine if I look.
As for the rest you are spot on. I understand the hot humidity thing we need to adapt a little.
If the heat gets bad you can run a fan to help. But looks good

You will want to trade out the fake plants as they may eat them. I had a post where my male ate a straw and a foam ball. So trust nothing. Also check your plants, the one looks like a ZZ plant which are toxic. All mine munch plants too the stem.

 

[BubbaVeiled]

Ok thank goodness. Yeah I keep the fan on his cage and he's never gaping or anything so I think he's comfy. I'm moving up north in a couple weeks. That will be a big adjustment for him . Hell have to learn that his heat lamp exists lol.

 

[BubbaVeiled]

Nah it's a shefflera which I think is safe for veileds yes?

 

[BubbaVeiled]

Actually nvm I just checked. It's a gardenia plant.

Chameleon have only a few free ribs unlike mammals. There sternum is more prominent because of its length of it especially when hunched over and upright poses

Can you post a photo of your chameleon on your hand or a ruler please?

It’s normal, my chameleon has that point angle in his chest as well, it’s apart of their rib cage and anatomy.

I am no plant specialist, so I can't say what is. Just a couple I know

I think @kinyonga is curious on age. he is tiny, but 2 1/2 months looks about right.

You figured it out!
He looks a couple or three months old to me too. Seems to be looking good too.
