Not normal in any I have seen or had. They can get MBD. How old is he? I am not sure MBD would show up in a very young one. I would guess more like a birth defect and whoever you bought him from should have told you about it before selling him to you. I would contact them as ask what's up with selling you a Cham with a defect and not notifying you first.

I agree with barb. Looks like a birth defect, not mbd. Is it possible that he broke a leg when younger and it never healed right?

Rereading I realized you posted his age. Birth defect, or something like sibi said. Not possible at that young age for MBD to show up that I know of.
