Hello everyone, I haven't posted here in a while because my Male Veild Chameleon has been doing magnificantly. He has been very healthy, in tip top shape with a fairly balanced diet and clean cage. So this is the first time I have noticed some physical problems. About 2 days ago I noticed that there was a bumb on the bottom right hand side of his mouth. The bumb is fairly small, nearly about size of a period (.) on this page. The bumb is small and slightly slowen and a brownish color (inside the mouth), and when he opens his mouth the bumb is just on the side of it. A similar yet smaller bumb has also appeared on the top front of his mouth. Also, as he has been growing quickly, i've noticed his casque has become slightly crocked (thats what I am most concerned about). I just wanted to know if anyone could identify these problems and give some advice before I go to the next step and contact my vet (which I plan to by the end of today).Besides the bumb and the crocked caque, he has been acting fairly normal, eating, drinking, basking ect. and I haven't noticed any change in his routine. Here are come cage and daily facts if anyone needs them:
Cage is all screen 2ft by 2ft by 1 1/2 ft
1 heatlamp with regular 60 watt bulb
1 halogen lamp
fake plants and branches inside (havent tried real ones yet because I give him plenty of veggies)
diet includes, crickets, meal worms, strawberries, blueberries, bannana slices, oranges and lettuce. I use gut load with crickets.
Cage is cleaned once a week, and sprayed 2 times a day with room tempurature water, high quality drinking water.
He is taken out to bask in the Sun two times a week for 30 minutes.
The last time he shed was approx. 6 days ago.
Any other information you need just ask, Thank you in advanced
