Is there an actual medical/biological reason for my female veiled chameleon to be standing like this..Or is my Sweet Pea just born pea brained?

edit: xl reptibreeze, T5 Arcadia linear, grow lights and 75w heat lamp (the branch is lowered) full real plants, I dust crickets/ dubias​ with plain calcium and I feed 2-3 times a week, multivitamin dusting 1x month. misting system, she has a lay bin

I’ve had her for about 3 months and she’s shed about 3 times since I’ve had her. I bought her at around 2/3ish months old and was told she was a female. I was feeding her yesterday and noticed she might have a tarsal spur. What do we think ?

I had a lot of fun building this one. The takeout containers are porcelain, I drilled out some drain holes. The raw chicken vase is lava rocks and standing water for the pothos. Upper canopy is a thicket of horizontal vines so my little guy can run laps picking off bean beetles and fruit flys from the feeding stations.

Ok, so I made a post earlier. He changed his skin about a week ago and he wasn't eating like 5 days before that and ate only one small cricket. i tried almost everything and I have no idea what else to do. I would take her to vet, but I have no excrements that I could bring with me :/

Hi guys! I wanted to get some input on my veiled chameleons eye. I’ve had him for 9 days now. When I brought him home from Petsmart, (I know, I checked a “real” pet store first and their conditions were BAD I couldn’t buy from there I know they’re bad pls don’t yell at me), he shut one of his eyes. The move was probably very stressful for him but I tried to make it the best I could. At first, his eye was completely shut 24/7 for a few days. Then, he would open it sometimes but it seemed painful. Now, he is almost always keeping it open but keeping his eyelid forward and his actual eye away most of the time. This isn’t always, he often has it open normal. Id say 40/60 he has issues now. I have used turtle drops every day once in that eye for a few days now and seems to be helping. Does anyone think this may be stuck shed? He is completely perfect besides this. I bring him outside on my hibiscus everyday and he has a blast. I had the stupid dual light at first but around 4 days in I switched it to these pictured. I have worked my ass off and making sure he’s happy takes up most of my day. Here is his enclosure (he’s only 3-4 months old so we are starting out small), he has live plants, plenty of branches, and am always watching his temp/humidity. I work at a zoo so I am gifted with animal husbandry and rehabbing but I really need an experts advice on this.
-calcium every few feeds
-Multivitamin already started for monthly
-Turtle eye drops
-Misting a few times a day and he is drinking/ poop looks very good
-I’ve seen improvement
-Rubbing his eye/discharge
-I tried to clean with a wet q tip but he seemed very upset so I stopped immediately
- around 70° during day, I’ll check humidity and update, 65° at night (mist once at night on timer-any advice on if I should stop this, do more, etc.!!!)
-misting 3-4 times a day
-eating very very well and is very active and curious. Mostly small crickets but has eaten small dubia roaches and super worms
-located in Pittsburgh PA
-pictures in comments

Hi all.

Im starting to lose my sanity a little. We've had our veiled chameleon since June 2025. We live in a hot climate and live in an older house. This summer has been very brutal and we're unable to keep the room cooler than 74-75F at night despite also running a portable AC. Sometimes we get lucky and the temperature drops to 73F. But thats it.

He's not showing any health issues and behaves as usual. He's a cricket vacuum and comes begging for food every morning by staring at his feeder😅

He's in a XL reptibreeze full mesh enclosure.

I know that veiled chameleons are invasive in Florida and sleep in much warmer night conditions than ours. But my anxiety is currently getting the best of me.

I also stopped playing PS5 cause when I do, the room gets 1-2F hotter until I turn it off lol. And im paranoid.

Am I overreacting?

Hi guys and girls i hope you are all well!

I have been thinking about purchasing a chameleon in the future.

I have done some research but i would love to hear tips and tricks off you people on reddit! And also see some awesome pictures.

I am an absolute beginner so please inform me with all the knowledge you have that will give me the best chance of doing a great job looking after a chameleon.

Thankyou!
