Cage Info:

• Cage Type - Screen cage with glass doors. 60 x 26 x 21 livable space.
• Lighting - Quad fixture from lightyourreptiles.com with 1 Acacia 12% and a plant bulb. Lights on at 6am and off at 7pm.

Current Problem - I found a bump right behind Cham's left front leg about 1-2mm in diameter. It's white and looks like a pimple. Not soft or wet, but pretty hard. There might also be a second smaller one also on his left side closer to his left hind leg. Can anyone identify what it is? Do I need to be extremely worried? What caused it and what do I do? PLEASE HELP! Thanks in advance!

Yes! that's exactly the best description for what's on his skin! i reached out to the Kammers and asked what they thought. Ed said it looked minor but he said get professional input. So i'm gonna call a vet and get info. i'll keep you posted when i find something out. i really hope it's not that serious!

Just got back from the vet. She said it's nothing serious. She examined him and said his behavior was great and he looked great physically other than the spots. She said it could be a cut that got infected or bug bites. she gave me antibiotics for give him.

@ahood, if your guy is acting normal and no change in behavior that's a good sign. i had a recent rise in bugs on my live plants so i think that's what caused my problem. i'd go to vet just to be safe and so you can at least get antibiotics.

Did you find out what they are? Did they go away? I bought my Chameleon from Kammers as well and the same thing is happening to my chameleon as well.
