I would schedule a vet appointment ASAP. And I mean ASAP. That chameleon is on death's door. She's very skinny and weak looking currently. I'm no expert but it looks like she's maybe got MBD. And I'm actually not even sure that's a female... That's a very large casque for a female. Has she ever laid eggs?

You said she's bubbling out her nose? Possible she's got an RI as well.

Also, you'll want to fill out a form to check husbandry so that the experts here can take a look and see what husbandry may have contributed, so that you can give your cham the best you can. :)

Not sure it has MBD but definitely skinny and needs a bpvet ASAP...like yesterday.

@CalamityCrow said "she's bubbling out her nose? Possible she's got an RI as well"... There should be no bubbling out the nose for sure.

@CalamityCrow said,.."Also, you'll want to fill out a form to check husbandry so that the experts here can take a look and see what husbandry may have contributed, so that you can give your cham the best you can"...almost always helps us figure things out.
