Yeah I regulate it as needed, I monitor his temps daily.
New cage tomorrow, the reptibreeze arrives! I will take before and after photos and show of the new drip system I made for him.
So he went to the vet today, after a long visit, they told me he has a viral or fungal infection. They recommended Miconazle and said I could take a chance with it, as it could help him or possibly make it worse, they only thing they could do for sure was to take a sample of the bumps and send...
Yes, he is going to the vet today, they were not open sat-sun. I will let you know what happens. I was really surprise to see next to nothing about "yellow bumps" on a veiled. searching this forum, others and Google turned up very little info.
Thanks

yes thank you, I am actually going for it and spent my paycheck on an extra large retpibreeze cage. 24x24x48. I hope this will be good for his life time.
I added a ceramic bulb with a dimmer so I can can control the heat during the day and night. I keep the water mister bottle in the warm closet...

here is a high res photo, they can especially be seen near his back leg.

thanks for the responses so far.
would using a small, low rpm fan work well for now?
Also: Should I be giving him a warm shower a few times per week? I read this helps them, or is it more of a treatment after some kind of sickness happens, as opposed to a preventative measure.
Thanks a bunch, I have waiter to get a veiled cham for a long while, had to saveup and do research first! Yes the tank is over 2 feet tall.
Photo added! I will feed more superworms instead of mealys, thanks.
I thought so... would a regular ceramic bulb like this be good...

HI, Thanks both for the responses. yes, I had made an appointment for the chameleon but he passed right before :(
I felt a bit better (still sad,..) after learning that the other babies in that batch from Petco also had sick symptoms and passed, so it might not have been my lack of care.
I...
