unless the room is going below 55 degrees you can leave the purple light off . if you feel they need heat buy a ceramic heat bulb , it can't disturb their sleep at all . I also put my lizards in the shower with a plant once a week when I have them indoors .

she might have rubbed her head on something , causing an abrasion . that might be a little scar tissue , as near as I can tell from the photo .

I got my veileds from fl chams and they are growing into big and beautiful animals

shows how the mainstream media takes things out of context so often .

that's quite alright . i'll have to keep looking on this side of the pond .

could that be part of a prolapse hemipene left out and dried ?

there is a chance that this is not the same for all species of chameleon . maybe hatchling veileds occur in such large densities (30 plus eggs sometimes ) that this behavior is beneficial . whereas some other species (quads , montium ) have much smaller clutches , so the babies never congregate...

glad to hear you got most of them back . go to the cops .
