It looks like he has some very severe MBD. Can you post more pics?

Hello and welcome to the forum. Lots of us here are nuts about our chams. What is your general location? We have members all over the world. It is great to see chams in other countries that you never see in our own country.
I am sure your cham has MBD, you should see a vet as soon as you can.

Welcome Marie to you and your veileds. I keep veileds and they are such a pleasure and show so much personality. I have a blog for new keepers and one for females and the laying bin that I'm attaching for you below. I'm also attaching a laying bin video by Dez one of our senior members. Do you have any pictures of your guys that you can post? We all love pictures.

You barely filled anything out. Can you go back and do it all?

From the first pic I can tell your chameleon has very, very severe metabolic bone disease. His legs are bowlegged and he will eventually die from this. You need a vet.

Handling - How often do you handle your chameleon? maybe 1wk
Feeding - What are you feeding your cham? What amount? What is the schedule? How are you gut-loading your feeders? 5-6 gutload crickets every other day
Supplements - What brand and type of calcium and vitamin products are you dusting your feeders with and what is the schedule? rep-cal flukers high-calcium cricket diet
Watering - What kind of watering technique do you use? How often and how long to you mist? Do you see your chameleon drinking? fogger and dripper misting 1a day
Fecal Description - Briefly note colors and consistency from recent droppings. Has this chameleon ever been tested for parasites?vet said all good
History - Any previous information about your cham that might be useful to others when trying to help you.

the female looks to have MBD, not the male. She has already seen a vet about the condition and is receiving liquid calcium. You need to read through ALL the posts!!!
