What is this black sign?

[takisxx]

Hello every one. I get up today and i see this black spot anyone knows what is this?

 

[Rhea’s mum]

Is that the basking light inside? Could he have climbed on and got burnt?

 

[Beman]

^^^^ Yep Looking at where that branch is and the fact that the basking bulb is inside the cage right next to it. I would say he was leaning facing the other way with belly to the bulb. Lighting inside a cage is very dangerous with chams.

Τhanks for answers,so its a burn...damned that wqs a last day on this enclosure...just now i moved him to the new enclosure with thO arcadia 6%...damned day...

Yeah that is what I think it is. If you can get silver sulfadazine cream from a vet that would be what you would want to put on it to heal it and prevent infection.

You'll want to replace your red bulb with a white one. The red bulbs are bad for chameleon eyes.

Most likely; it's pretty standard. If not, they'll give you a scrip and you can pick some up at most any pharmacy.

Did your silicone finally cure & finish off-gassing? It doesn't look any different than the pics in the other thread.

I'm not a veterinarian, but I wouldn't want my cham breathing it. The stuff makes me pretty sick. I can only imagine what it would do to a little lizard's respiratory system.

I tried finding the American product safety sheet, but they seem to have obscured it pretty well.
I did find the Canadian version
GE Silicone I Household Sealant (Clear) - Canadian - MSDS

The main irritant appears to be acetic acid.

Just a white light. I use a 40 watt incandescent bulb.

Watch that spot close!! no panic , but I hope it is a burn. I have seen stomachs turn black on other herps and usually has been internal injury.

NOT saying this is what you have and I do not know if it would present the same, and would be evenly dispersed.

I think you are likely fine.
