Look at the sellers reputation?
It doesn't make sense.

@ gaboon, ok so phone the SPCA

That cham definitely has MBD this is evident from the casque and front limbs being dishaped.

The spine is probably the result of a birth defect, i have hatched out a few chams with such birth defects..... were the spine is simply crooked.

I wouldnt even want that chameleon for free!

Lack of sufficient calcium and a good UVB source for vitamin D3 production is a serious problem with veileds..

Take a look at the forthcoming Ultimate Exotics Magazine - July/August edition where i wrote a very brief article in the "expose your setup" section on how to PROPERLY house chameleons.

You sure that is MBD? Just looks like a very badly fed Cham.

Breeding chams for years, this is MBD.

no doubt about that, sticks out like a sore thumb! The chameleon will be underfed as chameleons with MBD are usually very weak, too weak to eat as even the jaw bones are soft and painful from a lack of calcium.

This MBD can be treated but irreversable.. :(
