I have a 1 year old panther chameleon. he is good weight not skinny at all. but last week when i went to pick him up and his grip felt week. his elbows look like a u so he doesnt have mbd i dont thing. it feels like his nails and hands are week. He is eating and pooping normally but i dont want it to get worse please help. Also there is no vet probably 1 or more hours from where i live. What should i do. What vitamins should i get

Fill out the ask for help form and post a few pictures of him....get some good ones of his arms and legs. If he were mine I'd get him to the vet.

Until such time as you can get him to a vet give his some extra calcium and make the basking temp a small amount higher.

I would buy some reptaid. If no change is a few days get him to the vet asap. You can get the reptaid from chams northwest. They are a site sponsor.
