Does my Chameleon have MBD? seriously freaking out here

[Nicburch]

I've had this piebald veiled chameleon for about 2 months and he was 3 months old when I got him so he's 5 months old. When I first got him he was a tiny little guy with skinny little arms. His arms looked like toothpicks but they looked normal compared to other chameleons. A few weeks ago, I started noticing some changes in his behavior. It appears as if he isn't climbing as well, although he still does it. He also doesn't like to be handled at all anymore. If I stick my hand in his terrarium, he opens his mouth wide and hisses at me most of the time. The one good thing I've noticed is that he's starting to get some beautiful colors. If this is Metabolic Bone Disease, I'd really like to know what I can do to fix this problem. I wasn't expecting this at all and I understand it will probably be an expensive fix.

Edit: it appears you have 2 threads for this, and it looks like you’ve gotten responses on the other one already.

Please take him to an experienced chameleon vet! He’s in pain and suffering so beg or borrow the money to take him! Please!

His front right leg is all the evidence you need. Breaks in two places caused by MBD.

I have given complete feedback in their other thread... https://www.chameleonforums.com/threads/does-my-chameleon-have-metabolic-bone-disease.184091/

They were given the wrong info when they got him. Lets try to help them rather then make them feel worse than they already do.
