Itching ?

[LVDealer]

Maybe I'm being over worried, but I have a Nosey Be Panther, about 1 year old, and I've been seeing him itch a little more than usual. Maybe it's because I'm home from the pandemic, but I see him rubbing his face against a post, or using his hind leg to scratch. Also, I've noticed that every now and then he'll keep one eye slightly open for about a full minute. Sometimes only 10 seconds. Does any of this sound like strange behavior to anyone else ?

Any recent shedding?

Any recent shedding?

Last time he shed was probably 2 weeks ago.

Is he only scratchI got his eye or various places?

 

[LVDealer]

I'm not sure if it's his eye, or the side of his head. He will rub his head against something, or use his hind leg to scratch at whatever.

 

[kinyonga]

Please post s photo of the area he's scratching. Does he rub the eye turret on things.

 

[LVDealer]

Sorry for the late reply

 

[kinyonga]

So he's scratching the area near or on both eyes?

 

[LVDealer]

I saw him scratching his right side today. I'll have to observe more before I can say for sure what he's usually scratching.

 

[kinyonga]

Since I can't see anything that he could have a reason to scratch except maybe his eyes, all I can say is that if you're really concerned about it tie him to vet...otherwise keep n eye on it and see what happens. Regarding the eyes...one looks like it migh be a little more protruding than the other...but I'm not sure it is.

I see a tiny white bump in the first pic...stuck shed? Then there’s something yellow just above his nose on the other pic. Or is that his nose with snalt?

 

[LVDealer]

So the patch on his eye looks like stuck shedding. The yellow spot isn't salt from his nose. I think that it's just a "beauty" mark.

 

[kinyonga]

Could it be that both marks are the beginning of papilloma?

I truly wouldn't know. He's my first chameleon, and I've only had him for 5 months. I got him when he was 1 year old.
