This cham is really ill, and has been for some time. Like birds and many other animals chams are extrememly good at hiding symptoms of illness until they simply don't have the energy or ability to fake health any longer. It leads a keeper to believe their cham was "fine yesterday". Usually not the case. In the wild, an animal that shows symptoms of ill health is more likely to be picked out and pursued by a predator. So, they develop extremely fine abilities to appear strong. When a cham loses "control" of their skin coloration or when odd colors show in odd parts of the body the cham is often close to death. The clutching and muscle tremors do sound like advanced MBD, but there could be other problems on top of this. There may well be a connection to the death of your female too...the same problems showing up in egg binding and death. You need a vet ASAP, but it might be too late to help. In the mean time, a detailed description of your setup, lighting, temps, humidity, gutloading and supplementation, everything you can think of will help us help you. It might not save this cham, but at least any you keep in future hopefully won't end up the same way. So sorry for your loss, and I wish we could help you more!
