Hello,

My friend has a female Rhampholeon spectrum. She was eating well and had no problems, her skin was normal. But last week 2 other Spectral Pygmy in her cage have died and then these bumps appeared. What are these bumps? How can we heal her?

I'm no exoert but it could be a fungal or viral or bacterial infection. Kinda reminds me of Nannizziopsiosis vreisii...aka CANV due to the ringworm look of the one lesion. You will need a vet to test for it.

Thanks for your comment. But she have died today. :(
 
Really sorry to hear that.
Didn't know what to advise when i first read your post tbh, so didn't reply. Was going to advise the same as kinyonga, regards a vet. Your pygmy's were almost certainly WC, i would have thought. A visit to the vets would most likely have made little difference imo, As these things need to be sorted very quickly to have any chance.
Unfortunately pygmy chameleons seem to be extremely delicate. Especially newly imported animals. I have lost a couple myself fairly recently. One brevicaudatus & a temporalis, both WC. Although no visible signs of anything wrong with either. Feeding fine one minute, then dead the next. Very frustrating & upsetting, especially when they appear to be settling in & doing well.
