in early April, I posted about a 7-8 month old veiled chameleon that we adopted who was in terrible shape (mbd). many of you confirmed my mbd suspicions and gave some great advise. I am very happy to report that the little guy is doing REALLY well now! when we adopted him he had almost ZERO control over his limbs and couldn't even hang on to a branch, so he spent 100% of his time lying on the floor, he wouldn't even eat.
Now after being given UVB and a bit of Bug Soup/Juice for a week, he has MUCH of his strength back and is climbing all over the pothos and branches, and eating really well. He does have bowed legs now, but that is minor. we are so happy! thank you all very much for your suggestions and well wishes!!!!!!
