Welcome on here! If you could fill out this form in as much detail as possible, including more pics of your cham, his entire cage, and his lights, it'd be super helpful. Is his eye still shut, and do you have an experienced chameleon vet near you?
Here is some recommended information to include when asking for help in the health clinic forum. By providing this information you will receive more accurate and beneficial responses. It might not be necessary to answer all these questions, but the more you provide the better. Please remember that even the most knowledgeable person can only guess at what your problem may be. Only an experienced reptile veterinarian who can directly examine your animal can give a true diagnosis of your chameleon's health.

Hmmm, it was a pic I found claiming to be a one month old. But I was wondering myself because of the casque. They don't usually appear till 3 months or so. Well thank you for the correction. I should have caught that before I posted it. I don't want to mislead anyone.
Okay thanks and yeah this was the first day I got him he was sleeping and I turned the light on to take the pic Which I know now not to do lol
Well the form was posted above for you if you would like us to review your husbandry. It is a good way to get thorough feedback from experienced keepers so you do not deal with health issues later.
