Sorry guys I know I should fill out the how to ask for help questions but im at work and dont really have the time.

My female is slowly loosing mobility in her back legs.She is a year old and It's been about 12 days since she bred with my male. this would be her second clutch. she is eating and drinking fine. she can grip the branches with her back legs but does not seem to have the strength to lift her body weight with them.

I was wondering if anyone has had anything similar happen to their cham?
 
I've not personally had any experience with this but I have heard of them have a pinched nerve that can cause this. I recommend taking her to a reptile vet with chameleon experience.
 
So I took her to the vet and got some x-rays done and she has no broken bones. She did have some space in her back leg joints and the vet said that she could of fallen and injured her wrists when she tried to catch herself.

She is drinking but I have not seen her eat in three days. I keep a steady supply of crickets in her cage and her feeder cup has dubia nymphs in it. But she does not seem interested.

This morning I found her on the bottom of her cage Thank god I decided to put towels down for a cushion if she fell again. Hope she showes signs that she is eating soon.
