What your chameleon has could be fungal but it could be something else too.I’m not a vet so I can’t be sure.

I have been involved with CANV studies quite a bit ever since it was first reported in Canada on one of my chameleons…that was the first case of it that led to the studies here.

This is what CANV looks like in bearded dragons…but it looks different in veiled chameleons. This looks silimar in some ways to what your chameleon has looks like…

Figure 3 in this site shows what it looked like to start off in chameleons. This is the original study that was done on it…

On the parsons chameleon some brown pustules did develop at one point on it…but it didn’t ever look like the yellow fungus in the bearded dragons.

The best vine to get is Flukers Bend a Branch. It has three thicknesses. Mine likes to hang out on the large one under the basking light and the small and medium ones I have creat a jungle gym for him the climb on. Now remember she needs real plants to keep the humidity up plus the water stays on a live leaf pretty good. A good plant that I like is a monestera or Swiss cheese plant they are hard have heavy stalks for them to climb on and are Cham friendly. Here in calif Trader Joe’s sells good size ones for 14.99. Slowly but surely you will get things together. Don’t worry we all go through it to begin with. One thing you can do is buy a 2x2x4 reptibreeze and set it up for the hatchlings. Then use it for her afterwards. The clutch can stay together till about 4-5 months you just have to make sure the weaker ones are getting their share of food. MarksChameleons.com used to have great videos of his little ones. Make sure the sticks and vines are all small for the babies. Well you got 200 days to figure it all out and get your girl set up right then the babies home ready! Good luck!

Sorry I thought your girl had a clutch of eggs! Well thankfully she didn’t. Three ways to check for dehydration. Sunken eyes, sunken casque, and orange urate. Means the urine is old and has crystallized. Most of us keep the bottom of the cage without substrate so we can keep an eye on it. Also it’s a cleaner setup. You can go bio but that’s really for the experienced caregiver. You will need a lay bin for her in addition to plants. Believe me the floor space goes fast! Chameleonacademy.com has great instructions on setting up a proper cage. M
