Swollen leg

[cassieschamies]

I have a female carpet chameleon. Her right leg is swollen and discolored and her nose is discolored. Could she have possibly fell from a branch and landed badly? Poor thing....I don't know what to do...I won't be able to take her to the vet anytime soon as I am short on funds.

Hi, can you tell us more about the chameleon. Judging by the discoloration being the same on the nose. I think you may be right. One in a million fall but it just takes that one awkward landing.

Does she use the limb?
From the pic i dont see any deformities?
What is your supplement schedule?
Type of uvb light, how far from basking site and how old is the bulb?

any chance of him maybe being too.close to basking bulb? reminds me of slightly sunburned tomato.plant leaves.

Can she still grab on to branches with that limb? May be a spider bite.
