Hey everyone, today i noticed a bump above my chameleons back feet, i read that that could be a sign of mbd and i wanted to make sure,

He is a 5 month old ambilobe panther chameleon
I supplement with Repashy Calcium every feeding, I fed him about 15-20 small 1/4 -1/2 crickets, but i got more medium to adult sized ones and i fed him 7, he also eats a few super worms usually about one a day.
I gutload with lettuce apples oranges with dinofuel raptor
I have a reptisun 5.0 UVB
I try to hold him for about 10 seconds a day, because he is new and i want him to get used to me.
He is basking in a few of the pictures

Not really bumps, the area right above his foot looks alittle fatter, maybe im just paranoid. He is my first cham
 
hmm im not sure just keep a eye on him and if u see him acting weird just write it here im sure someone that knows more then me will be able to help u out.
 
I don't see anything unusual....when he climbs, does he ever grab his front feet with his back feet?

Could it be the spur identifying him as male? I'm fairly new as well and only dust my veiled with a few feeders a day so I would say yours is getting plenty of calcium.

panthers dont have spurs.

no matter what supplement we are dusting with, most everyone dusts every bug lightly.
