HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

spike03 Dec 01, 2003 03:03 PM

Hi I have a jacksons chameleon about 2 years old. He has proper lighting, is fed and misted every day. Crickets are dusted once a week and are gutloaded. His cage is 2'6"x1'5"x1'5". Recently he has begun hanging by his front two hands. The back two just dangle. Is something wrong with him or is this normal? Please help.
Here's a picture:

We already responded to your post.....
This is not normal.

Have you tried lifting his back legs and placing them on a brach? Dows he have any grip in his back feet or tail?

If not, it could have been an injury to his spine.. sometimes they get clutsy and fall (have had this happen).

Call the vet... get him seen.
Keep us posted.
