What are you thinking is mouth rot? Where exactly are you looking?

Are you talking about his lower jaw at the back?

 

[emma86]

Yes, this is new

 

[Beman]

Yes, this is new

Is it that pronounced on the other side?

 

[emma86]

Yes not as much but yes it is

 

[Beman]

Yes not as much but yes it is

So males will typically have a more pronounced jaw there. But his is quite exaggerated. More puffy than I have seen. How is he eating? Any signs inside the mouth of discoloration?

 

[emma86]

He's eating well , I haven't noticed any discolouration but will check the next time I feed him

 

[emma86]

This has only been for a few days

What supplements are you using right now?

 

[emma86]

Calcium and multivitamins,

 

[Beman]

Calcium and multivitamins,

And it is the calcium without D3 and a multi vitamin 2 times a month that includes A and D3?

Can you post a picture of the enclosure for me? See if anything stands out.

Will have to post a picture of the enclosure tomorrow as the lights are off now .

The calci dust is fine as your calcium without D3. How often are you giving the nutrobal? This one is very very high in D3 compared to the standard levels in most of the reptile multivitamins. I can not find any info on how much A is in it only that it is 150k IU per LB for D3. To give you an idea of what I mean about it being very high in D3... Repashy Calcium Plus LoD version is only 8k IU per LB. The other common multi reptivite with D3 is only 10k IU per LB. I would look into switching this one out because if the D3 is that high then the A in it is more than likely much higher than other recommended multi vitamins that I have mentioned.

I give the multi v once a month . Ok I will look at getting another one

Look at the repashy Calcium plus LoD version. It has a jacksons chameleon on the label. Much better balanced for a chameleon.

Tomorrow when you feed him try to look in the mouth for discoloration.

It may be his normal shape but it also may not. Like I said it is much more pronounced than I have seen before.
