You guys hit the nail on the head. It is gout. I am going to cut back on the suppliments and i will be sure he gets extra extra extra water. I feed his crickets Wild eyed reptiles food but i am going to try raw veggies. I hope its not too late.

Hi everyone,
I've got a year old male vieled chameleon and his ankles are swollen. I dont think it's MBD because i give him his suppliments about twice a week. He has only been in this cage for about 9 months and i am just about to change out his repti-glo 5.0 light. Both his back ankles...
My 4 month old male vieled has been walking around strangely rubbing the bottoms of his back feet on the grapevine in his enclosure.... It reminds me of when a dog drags its butt across the floor. I have no idea why he is doing this. Any ideas?
I am having trouble keeping my crickets alive. I have them in a big plastic Bin and i have some egg cartons in there. i dont cover up the top so i think they have plenty of air. I give em WER gutload and Some gel H2o stuff.
I buy about 100-200 crickets at a time and about half of them...

even if my cham has enough room in the cage? 16.5 inches wide. and the UVB light is on one side it is not a good idea? it said it olny effects 12 inches. cant he just go to one side to get away?
My vieled male is olny 3 months old.
I have a 30 inch long reptarium but it is olny 16.5*16.5 wide and deep.
My UVB reptisun light fixture is 30 inches long.
right now i have the cage on its side so it is OLNY 16 inches TALL but the light fixture fits perfectly on top of the 30 inch...
