How does he look?

I would have to agree that the eyes appear to be slightly sunken. The bigger concern to me is that his front leg seems to have a bit of a bow to it. This would be a red flag to me that he has MBD and will need some help and good care to recover. Depending on the price he might be a good rescue.

Thank you for the quick reply, LP! It appears the seller is also getting rid of a few other animals as well, which leads me to believe that he did not give the chameleon proper care. It's about an hour and a half drive to get him and I am afraid that the drive back will cause more stress, along with being introduced into a new home.

He's young and his MBD is not terrible. He could be an excellent rescue. However, he's going to need to go to a vet so you can get what he needs to get his MBD under control. He will need all the proper lighting, vitamins, and good gut loaded bugs. Taking on a rescue is very rewarding, but when they have issues such as MBD there is little room for error. I have to drive and hour to my vet. The rides do not stress my guys out. I just keep them in a box that's rather dark. The most important thing would be to have his enlosure all set up before you brought him home. Have you decided to get him?
