So my chameleon was climbing on me and he climbed to far up my arm where I couldn't reach him. So i had to get him but I had to grab under him to get him. He seemed fine when I put him back in the terrarium but I noticed a few brown scratches on his side. I didn't check before hand when he came out if they were there or not, he tends to rub again a log part that was put in his home, so I can't tell if he just scratched himself, and i didn't noticed. Or it was from me trying to get him off my shoulder.. I may be just a littler paranoid but I wanted to make sure that he will be okay. I am attaching some pictures, to show what they look like.
The scratches seems to fade a bit, but it just concerns me because they are still there. I have tried to look all over the internet to make sure this wasn't broken ribs, or an illness of some sort and nothing has mentioned this. Can anyone help me figure this out?
(I would like to take him to the vet to get him checked but my only ride is my mother and she says "oh well he's fine".) Any response will help, thanks
