Maybe there is something that you will find useful in this thread. I hope you can get the issue taken care of.
Welcome!
You can identify wether it is male/female by the tarsal spurs behind the feet on the back legs. If there is spurs it is male if not it is female.
Is there a reptile vet you can take him to if needed? If he hasn't been getting enough uvb he could develop mbd. Or he could be developing something due to a lack of supplements. That's just my guess, and I could be wrong. Hopefully someone has a better answer. Post pictures as soon as possible...
You should be using calcium without d3 at every feeding. Twice a month instead of that use calcium with d3 and twice a month use a multi vitamin. Is there a particular reason you keep him outside? I'm worried he may not be getting enough uvb lighting.

Here is the thread I made when I first noticed it. Look at the pics in the beginning and then look at the pics at the very end.
Does he still have a strong grip with the limb that's swollen? My cham had has had gout for about seven months now. When it was in its early stages he used to let his back leg hang pretty often which is what caught my attention and had a weaker grip. He had a bit of swelling on the wrist area...

Here is a picture of the bottom of my set up. I keep my cage on a five shelf steel rack. I made a bunch of small holes on the Bottom piece of the enclosure to drain into the grey tub below.
Most of my supplies and feeders I've bought at expos were relatively cheaper compared to online purchases I've made and pet stores. If you're looking to purchase either of those I would look up the best online prices beforehand to get an idea and when you go to the expo you can compare the...
I agree with kinyonga. How did your cham get this bad? With all the information on this website there should be no reason things should get to that point. That poor thing. I'm not trying to be mean, but Please take it to the vet before it is too late (if it isn't already).
Seems like symptoms of a respiratory infection. From my personal experiences bumping up the temp has helped when my little guy showed symptoms. Not saying that's a cure but it's helped for my chams and bearded dragons. Get it to the vet asap to nip this problem in the bud.
Also for your...
I go to Dr Greek as well. See if you could make an appointment and bring in some fecal matter to get it tested. My veiled had the same symptoms and I noticed worms in his poop along with signs of gout, so I think the two resulted in lethargy and not eating. You can ask about pricing when you...
Wow I'm def going to try this. Forgive me if this is a stupid question, but why did you have to attach the valve to a new tube and add the t joint? Couldn't you just add it to the existing tube? Also are you using tap water? I've heard that the minerals will clog it up eventually if you do.
