Yeah I think he might have a problem with his mouth, Im taking him to the vet tomorrow to get it checked out. He makes a hissing noise sometimes too and opens his mouth really wide.

liquid meds as well as being force fed because he will not eat crickets or anything else.

Jacksons

I cant get my chameleons mouth open to give him medicine, how can i get it open? he clamps down so hard whenever I try to give it to him

He dangles it off the branch, he just started doing it a few days ago along with not eating crickets. Also hes a bit shakey when he walks.

He wont grab onto the branch with one of his back legs, and sometimes he doesnt with either. Im suspecting gout... what do you think?

I got my Jacksons Chameleon about 6 months ago at a reptile expo. Recently, over the past week or so, Ive noticed that my chameleon hasnt been eating the crickets he usually has. Also, one or both of his back legs usually hands off the branch when hes grabbing onto it. I have a UVB and heat bulb...
