So here's an undate for anyone who is curious:
This morning we took Rococo to an exotic vet clinic. The vet took one look at him and confirmed our suspicions; he does have mbd after all. The bent limbs, soft jaw and casque were obvious indicators.
Although we still aren't positive...
Our guy really just keeps trying too bite use no matter what we do, heis viscous
Would buying a reptisun 10.0 help I mean at this point isn't it worth the risk?
What are some in house treatments for mbd that we can do before getting him to a herp vet
Does anyone possibly have some suggestions on how to get a bad tempermented chameleon out of his cage?
What is Ideal placement for his reptisun 18inch bulb, at the moment it is running across the center top of cage about 5 to 6 inchs away from where he would be on a branch.
The reptisun was just replaced, it was only 5months old. he has had silks and super worms manny times before just not in the last 30days we have also tried dubias and calciworms which he wants nothing to do with.
He has never been outside, somewhat impossible with his current demonic temperament
I'm worried my chameleon might have MBD based on this legs and crooked casque here are some pictures. any advice or opinions would be appreciated

Chameleon Info:
Chameleon - veiled, male, (named Rococo) bought from pet store 6 months ago currently 9 to 10 months old from my best...
How often should I offer fruits and veggies to our 9 month old male vield? Yesterday was the first time Rococo ate any fruit :), it was a raspberry stuck on one of the branches of his schefflera. He went to eat it right away.
I was wondering how often do to give him fruits and how often...
She isn't even the worse I've seen, you should of heard the BS the pet store I bought my vield told me.
2 crickets a day for a juvinile chameleon and they drink water from a bowl...like a dog
There are alot of idiots out there
Well he's is eyeballing the crickets pretty hard when I put them in his cage more so then his worms. I have not seen it but I think he might of just eaten a cricket. It was on top of the cage 4 inchs away 5 minutes later no where to be found. I just put another in there fingers crossed:D
At the moment I have a few crickets in his cage I'm hopping he will eat them, but it is hard to keep track of if he is actualy eating crickets because they always jump out of his feeding cup. And it's a larger cage with lots of places for crickets to hide or just drop dead after enough time.
I gut load the suppers with leafy green carrots sweet potatos and I use enriched baby food bran mixed with normal bran as substrate because it's higher in calcium
