Hi. As most of the posts about burns etc don't seem to have an end result i thought i would post.
Thor lost all of his back spikes due to what we think was a burn from his basking lamp being too hot/too close to his tank. All of his spikes appeared to join togethe in one long grey/black 'scab'
It took a few months of warm sprays and a close eye but the whole thing fell off eventually and although he has no spikes on that part the skin has healed over and looks normal. (i will try and post pics soon)
We chose not to take him to vet as his behaviour was normal and there was no infection. We did give him warm sprays to soften the area.
We now have a normal (grumpy) chameleon!
