What would you put on a small cut on your chameleon? Neosporin?

I would not put anything on it. Either just keep it clean or take it to your vet for a cream! Some ingredients in this stuff can be lethal to these guys...

Yep, a $200 vet visit for a cut (provided it is only a cut and nothing more serious) versus a $6 tube of polysporin that has been used by members on here for quite some time is a great idea. Many lethal ingredients in it.
That's not to say I don't like the idea of not using anything at all to let things heal like they would any other day (in the wild).

doesnt neosporin do something to chameleons skin? i though that i read somewhere that its bad for them unless u get a specific kind?
on geckos skin wont usually shed properly where it was applied but no real issues.

Neosporin with pain killer can cause problems, that is why we suggest that if you have to use neosporin at all to use the kind without pain killers. Polysporin is a better option.
I believe mineral oil has a similar effect, and it can cause the scales to do something (what specifically I can't remember).
