What's this?

[Cesar Ruiz]

What are these yellow spots or bumps on her? She eats, sleeps, and drinks fine. I have had her for about 3 weeks. I bought her from petco. Thanks

Poor little girl. I have been keeping for more than 10 years and never seen anything like that. I would recommend getting her checked out by a good reptile vet that's experienced with chameleons.

Looks like some type of skin infection but don't quote me on that, she definitely needs to be checked out by a good reptile vet.

I just don't know either

I gasped when I first saw it. I have no clue what it could be. Look like blisters but why so many?? I would follow Jannb's advise

 

[Andee]

It doesn't look like burn blisters though, burns with chameleons are usually black or much darker... these almost look bacterial. But I'm not sure >.< I'm so sorry for your little one, good luck with her and keep us updated.

When I bought her from petco she had a couple on the side, and now there everywhere I'm just worried and I can't find any vets near my home

 

[GrimCamel]

And Petco strikes again.....

Where do you live? We have some members who may know some vets near you.

I would either get her to a vet or at least bring her back to the pet store. Petco will generally try to get some medicine or medical attention for the more expensive animals if you can not afford the vet bills. I would do something quickly though because there could be an infection or parasite causing that. (Not really sure )

You live near LA right? There's an Avian and Exotic Animal Hospital that seems fairly reputable, there should be a lot in LA,

Dr. Rosskopf seems like the best bet.

check in the health clinic. There is a veterinarian list by state.

 

[Cesar Ruiz]

I have 30 days to get an exchange or get a medical look by there vet. I really don't want to exchange her, so I'm gonna go looking around. Thanks guys! You all have been great

Dr.Greek is near LA and he has allot of chameleon experience.

Oh wow. Almost looks like a fungus. Not saying it is, jut looks like it.

If you have it looked at by Petco's vet does it extend your warranty? I wouldn't necessarily trust their opinion, but if you could buy yourself some extra time on warranty by seeing their vet while seeking a herp vets care, you might keep your options open should things turn south.

On a fun note, it looks like the stuff that grows on some old ladies necks! Sure hope it is nothing serious like them moles on old lady necks. O, and please do let us know what it is when you find out!

 

[Cesar Ruiz]

I took her to petco and they said it looks like fungus

 

[carol5208]

I would not rely on petco employee for any diagnosis. If they have a vet, that would be a different story. Although, that is what it appears to be, the vet will probably need to do a skin scraping and culture test. Take her to a qualified reptile vet.
