My female veiled chameleon is perfectly healthy except for two whitish bumps on her skin: one in the back of the neck, and the other near the base of the tail. Anyone ever seen something like these? They dont appear to cause pain to the chameleon. The only thing i think might be causing them is old age...the chameleon has layed over 100 eggs in a single clutch, and she is about 4 years old.

Pics? Really hard to say. Fungal, old unshed skin patch, abscess, an encapsulated cyst (sort of like a whitehead...a little pocket in the skin that fills with caseous material), scar, who knows. Are they growing? Can you rub them loose? Is there any swelling or discoloration around the edges of the white spots?
