Is is normal for some veilds to have a bent casque and uneven jawline?
Its like he has an underbite on one side, the pet shop told me that some can just look like this and now they aren't answering me for me to ask about the jawline..
I'm going to take him to the vet next friday when I get paid to make sure all is fine.
His legs aren't bent and I do make sure to do his 3x a week dusting with nutrobal he is 8mo and he has a 5% uvb bulb on his cage as set up by the pet shop.
Any ideas anyone??
 
Some casques don't grow straight and upright, a little bend is normal for some. It's not normal though if there's a small part of it missing, it should be whole. And it is not normal for a Cham to have an underbite, could be a fight it had or might even be mouth rot. Check it out to be sure! Hope everything's fine!
 
Can also be a sign of Metabolic bone disease. Can you post a few pics?? If his legs aren't bent then probably not though.
 
I've booked him into a vets with a reptile specialist and hes getting seen on saturday morning.
His legs are normal and he has no mobility issues, also a super strong grip but yeah MBD or mouth rot are both things that are playing on my mind.
I will post some pics of him and let you all know what the vets prognosis is.
Thanks for your responses everyone :)
