Is my Panther fat or something wrong?

[mund]

So I recently got a Panther about 2 weeks ago. He's doing great. His belly is always full. Maybe I'm being paranoid but it seems that under his front arms I guess you could say where his arm pits are there is a bit of a bulge. Freaked me out at first because I thought they were little hands lol. I am wondering if hes either getting too fat or something else is wrong. I can post pictures later.

Sounds like gular edema...my sambava has the same thing under his pits...

What are you doing about it? Should have pictures when I get home. I only see it when he relaxes and curls up.

Well i stopped supplementing and uped his misting and water intake and have been putting him out side a lot but he still has it...look up gular edema on the search bar and threads on it will pop up...

probably just paranoia on my part. Here he is. Really hard to get the right angle in the light when I see it most, usually when he's relaxing. probably nothing though. Here are the pics. Probably can sort of see it in the last one. I think its mostly when he gets his relaxed coloration and those parts are not consistent I guess.

I don't see the swelling, maybe very slight one. What are your supplements and how often and how much do you supplement?

Reptical w d3 everyday dusting. Reptivite once a week.

He's been eating crickets, mealworms, and waxworms.

Just started breeding crickets so they are getting the regular water, the water gel with calcium, cricket feed, and carrots.

Dino fuel, bug burger, and calcium dust without d3 are on the way.

Good to hear, just paranoid being new to chameleons.

Hello, You should only use the calcium with D3 every other sunday(pick a day) making only twice a month. Giving to much D3. In the picks he looks normal to me though. Not really seeing anything but normal skin folds. Correct me if I'm wrong anyone please.

I know, waiting on my calcium without d3 to arrive. But calcium everyday right?
