Long Nails

[JaCoCham]

My approx. two year old male panther chameleon's nails have been looking relatively long lately, and I'm worried it could be affecting his climbing ability. What should be done about this, or is it nothing to worry about?
Thanks

Hi! I know you aren’t supposed to cut them. I would assume it’s just fine

Those are just fine. This was my girl Grumpy and believe it or not, she got around wonderfully with those daggers.

Literally laughed out loud with her sweet little grumpy face. What a love!

I just wanted to say hello and welcome! You are in a great place to get help and support for your chameleons!

I’m currently not home to take photos of my babies but I assure you my little lady veiled has long nails too. Just leave them be. They are meant to help them hold on to branches.
