I have a female bearded pygmy chameleon with round yellow bumps on her skin. she seems otherwise healthy but i think the spots are spreading. I have had her for a few months now. i have one other female and two males in the cage. the other female has been in there with her the whole time and the males for about a month and a half and none of the others have the problem. (bought two males on accident but they seem to be getting along.)
hopefully someone knows what it is any advice would be a great help. sorry the pic is kind of small took it with my phone and couldn't get it any clearer.

sorry for no responses untill today friend, my only guess is that it could be cricket bites (cysts) or a fungal infection of somesort. lets eliminate the obviouses, do you leave crickets in the enclosure at night?
 
i do leave crickets in at night but only one chameleon has these bumps. also it doesn't look like a bite more like yellow warts. if it is a fungal infection is there any treatments?
 
If its what I think it is it can be fungal, viral (pox) or bacterial. In most of the cases I've seen it can kill the chameleon. I would separate it right away and take it to a vet for a biopsy. Its hard to be sure if this is what it is though because I can't see it well enough in the pictures.
