About to give him his first calcium drops today, do you got any advice of how to do it the easiest way? :) Am I able to drop it onto a cricket or what do you say?
Okay I will keep the same hours of the lights :)
I will try to make atleast one update daily how he's doing :) Thanks again for the support, I've been down in the dumps for a few days and this have really given me a new boost of hope that he can make it to the better :)
Thanks guys, it means alot that someone els also cares :) and yes, it's rly painfull to see, it broke my heart yesterday when I saw it :( but I can't do anything atm than just give him the drops and keep up the feeding and watering. Placed towels all over the floor so if he falls, he got some...
Got back from the vet about 1 hour ago, she could't tell what it was. His skeleton, was sturdy and good she said. She said it might could be cramps, since he twisting his whole body sometimes. He got 2 shots, and I got some calcium/vitamins d3 drops with me home that I should give him 1 time...
I spread out some towels last night, he was in the same spot as he was last night, so atleast he haven't been falling during the night. He ate asap this morning, now he's basking. Atleast we got some good signs. Got vet apointment today, I'll let you know later what the vet had to say.
Thanks for all the help! When he went to sleep he was grabbig one of his legs. I don't understand how this could be MBD, he just seems to be weak and doing weired things all the time. I mean, I have been giving him everything he needs. I guess its not my fault, cant find any reason why this is...
Just called, they didn't have any expert on reptiles atm. They could't help me until 8 in the morning(14 hours). Gonna turn of his lights now and get him there tomorrow. Strange thing is, he was more than ok 3 days ago, and now he's acting like this.
cant get a vet until tomorrow. What could it be? I'm almost crying and got this bad feeling inside me. I've been doing everything right, study about chameleons all the time.
It was just so painful to see...
I mean, I just love this guy.
I haven't got it 100% stated that he's a male, but I guess he's to young to be egg bearing?
Here's a pic of him, if anyone want to sex him. (1 day old pic) http://imgur.com/CsEY3

Thanks for all the heads up. As I stated before, could it be that he dont got enough space when he's turning around 180? Cause when I watched him yesterday he was climbing perfectly only noticed it happen when he was in crowded spaces(so to speak).

Im at work atm, but I will try snap a good pic when I get home.
Just came to think of , could it be that he dont havet enough space to move around in lets say his umbrellla plant? So I have to cut it down alittle? Could that be an reason?
Wrote this from my phone, sry about the grammar.
My guy is about 5 months old and I saw today that he was grabbing his own legs a couple of times. I know this could be a sign of MBD.
I use:
ZooMed - Repti Calc W/o d3 every feeding.
ZooMed - Repti Calc with d3 2 a month.
rep cal herptivite 2 a month.
Could it be over suppliment?
Am I over...
I have a x-large repti breeze and I drilled holes near the bottom of my biggest and heaviest plant, which makes the pvc-bottom to sunk down a little and makes the water to gather at the bottom of the plant.
