Bent veiled head crest

Jwarburton44 Jul 06, 2011 06:29 PM

I bought a veiled about 3 months ago at a sketchy pet shop but he seems to be doing just fine he eats well and from what i know seems to be doing just fine. The only thing his crest is a little bent and mishaped compared to pictures ive seen. Will he shed out of this or will it be that way for the rest of his life?

Does it have straight arms between the wrists and the elbows? Does it hold its body up off the branches when it walks/stands?
Can you post a photo of it please?

His legs are nice and striaght. im pretty sure he is off the branches when he walks but rests on the branch in his same spot for basking most of the day. when he sees a cricket he will walk to shot it and He will vist his worm bowl throughout the day til they are all gone. I will post the pictures of him on the chameleon photo gallery cuz idk how to put the image here in the message. I will tag the picture as "Jurgin the chameleon" or you coudl just look for my name jwarburton44. let me know if you think he is healthy.

I don't see any signs of MBD but it will likely stay bent anyhow. I wouldn't worry about it.
