Just wondering if anyone sees a problem with my male veiled chameleons back feet? They look kind of swollen to me and I can't tell if its just how he's standing but sort of curved to. He seems to be acting normal otherwise. He has a reptisun 5.0 for uvb and gets dusted crickets with plain calcium 3 times a week so I hope it's not mbd!:( Please let me know what you think Thanks

Once he moves and it straightens it out looks normal again maybe I'm just freaking myself out

It MIGHT be a swollen ankle, I'm not sure about that, but my veiled's ankles kind of do that too.

So it is most likely the way he bends his legs to walk.
 
They look fine in the first picture like SaintJimmy said. The second one it is harder to tell but I know my guys can bend themselves into all kinds of positions to get to where they want to go. I assume he is fine, just keep a close eye on him. Maybe schedule a general vet visit for some extra piece of mind if you are really worried.
 
Thanks everyone. After a day off work being able to watch him I believe you guys are right. All his other joints look good and hes moving around and acting normal. Thanks again
