I don't have experience with chams, but I do currently have a crested gecko who appears to have MBD, despite plenty of calcium (in fact, her calcium sacks in her mouth are huge & full of calcium). But she suddenly became unable to metabolize the calcium she was getting, for some reason. The fix has been to use injectable Calcitonin to help her body use the calcium she's getting. I read about this problem in a tortoise, which is what made me wonder about it in my crestie.
