Please help. My panther chameleons head looks swollen. He's shedding right now .... He also seems very weak .. he barealy moves . He lays all his weight on the branch and really doesn't move!
 
Photos would help. It would also help if you filled out the questions in the Health forum in the thread "how to ask for help".
 
Link your other health related thread here too since you just recently changed some things in your husbandy, people being caught up would help.
 
I think they squirted water in his mouth, cham was throwing up and fell off a branch landed on the ground in another thread today
 
Please post photos of your cham. This is how I do it and it works for me:

Go to Imageshack.us
Upload the files you want from your computer
It will provide a link to the album
Copy and paste the link to the album here
 
We can help you "figure the whole chameleon thing out" much more easily if you will PLEASE take the time to fill out the help form! Nutritional or behavioral problems are complex and are tied to your brand of lighting, your temperatures, humidity, etc. Without a detailed description of your setup and your husbandry we are just shooting in the dark...and meanwhile your cham isn't doing all that well. That help form was developed to save time and frustration by giving us as much information the first time instead of multiple posts, questions and answers, and wasted energy (and a bit of emotion too).
 
I don't see a problem with his casque. A well hydrated cham's casque should be convex or even bulge a little. BTW, he's beautiful!
 
You're welcome!

Now, is it just the photo or do his lips not line up or close? It's possible he may have some sort of infection in his mouth area that may need vet attention. I couldn't say without a clearer photo of his face, but that may be a very good reason why he's acting sickly.
 
Thanks for the compliments guys. Yeah I was just worrued when he fell a little bit. Can i start talking about something different or I have to make a new thread.....
 
If it is a health question fill out THE FORM. But I would answer Olimpia's question first.
If it is unrelated to the health- put the question in the appropriate section of the forum
 
Olimpia, His mouth does look kinda crooked at times.... It's more of his bottom lip that looks different . It looks like as if he were chewing on a branch and his lip looks pressed down ... I don't know if that makes sence
