Can you post a picture please?
What species?

Vitamin A from beta carotene sources shouldn't cause any problems.

Is the chameleon getting any preformed vitamin A? What are you dusting with and how often? What are you gutloading with?

That is not fat.

BlueVapor,

That is not fat. It seems like she has a bad case of gular edema. What supplements do you use and how often? I would also make sure she's getting enough hydration as well. Give me a call at 571-437-0642 and I can go over some DIY home remedies.

I know Vince answered your question but this is what I have done, and what was reccomended by Dr.Greek Give her extra hydration, take her off all the other supplements besides calcium, and put her outside more frequently.

What do you use for preformed vitamin A and how much?
