Sounds like he's doing the "leaf walk". Chameleons have a distinctive walk that looks funny to blend in with moving leaves since they would normally be walking on branches in trees. It's to try to hide from predators by looking like their surroundings...obviously doesn't work too well on a human arm! But that's probably what it is. Signs of MBD are bent legs, double joints, fractures, "rubber jaw", weakness, deformed or stunted growth to name a few. Here's a great article on the care of Jacksons chameleons. Doesn't look like MBD from the pics at all.

He is very skinny in the pics, and looks closer to the 10 month age judging by his size and horns. Definitely a young adult rather than a baby. Shipping is stressful so lots of hydration and good gutloaded feeders for him!

I did actually!! She would steal the insoles out of people's shoes, so while she was busy wrestling them out she'd be a furry blob in your shoes! It freaked people out when they came over and lost their insoles, or noticed a weasel sitting in their shoes. She passed away a few months ago sadly. She was an adorable little thing!

Sorry to hijack your thread!

AWWW> that is hilarious. My ferret plays the drums. His name is Otter. Im sorry you lost your baby.
My boy looks just like yours, cept mine has white toes on all his feet. He is not the brightest ferret in the box.
