Where did you get him from?
He has a lot of turquoise like my male did as a baby.
Here's my male now showing his blues, he has a lot of yellow and orange as well
That's why I asked to see the spur, it was hard to see In one of the pictures because of the high contrast. I have also seen females that were more colorful at that age than males, but it's obviously a handsome little boy!
Flukers products are garbage.. I would highly suggest avoiding them. You can also provide adequate water by injecting a silkie or hornworm with water, make sure they are small/med sized so that is it easier to get down. If he is to weak your best bet to boost his health mat be to mash them up...
It sounds like it is time for a bigger enclosure, he may also need some free range time. He also seems to be rather friendly, some chams really do thrive on human interaction. My panther loves to fling himself out of his house when I open the door, or he will lean out with his front feet and try...

Actually I was not assuming at all, I stated it as a possibility. Considering how many veileds there are, and the fact that no one cares to follow their lineage- the probability of inbreeding is very high. Inbreeding can also cause various issues besides physical deformities, so you may not...

His enclosure is not even close to finished either, I'm trying to find a plastic shower curtain with a forest on it so I can put it on the 3 sides of his enclosure where the white polypropelene is now. I'll also add in bamboo sticks for climbing. I'm just trying to let him settle before I...
Yes they are!
He is so unbelievably sociable. I'm always weary when it comes to buying adult chams because of their behavior, however he has proved me wrong.
Here he is asleep on my wrist -
Oh I know, I actually research species before I buy. He also has a special area in the house where it does not stay as warm. That way he has an actual fluctuation in temps
It is more than likely a trioceros Sternfeldi.
What are you using for an enclosure? Do you have a misting system? And what are you using for lighting ?
I would also suggest reading fauna classifieds board of inquiry on the company you bought from
