Help!

i just got a crested chameleon, age about 7mnds, and i am just wondering abaout his crest,its werry tilted, is this normal? and i am from norway so pardon my bad english

I've noticed something like that can either come from MBD or keeping their casques too close to the top of the cage.. I also think it has something to do with heat, but don't quote me on it.

Could you get some pictures of the limbs? If there is any bending it may be because of calcium deficiency.

As Syn said more pictures of his legs would be very helpful. If you'll also fill out this form below the members here will let you know if you have everything just right for your little guy. https://www.chameleonforums.com/how-ask-help-66/

Also, below is another link for you with some great veiled info.

It looks like he has suffered from Metabolic Bone Disorder(MBD) earlier in his life. The crooked casque and abnormally shaped leg are signs of it. It is due to a lack of calcium. While this can't be corrected, continue to give him calcium as you normally would.
He looks healthy other than that and there is no reason why you shouldn't get years of enjoyment with him.

i really dont think his legs are in bad shape, thats why i ruled out mbd, but you can see for your self in this photo thanx for all replyes by the way

he is now refusing to eat and just wants to climb out of the cage all the time what can be the reason for this?

The temperature.

The size of the enclosure.

The amount of cover the plants provide.

Could be a number of reasons. Could you post a pic of the whole enclosure and fill in the 'How to ask for help' form thingy

He looks like a lovely animal in your pics
