Hello Everyone,
The pics below are of my male Veiled Chameleon, Emerald. I feel like I take pretty good care of him: he has a 3'x3'x4' screened enclosure with plenty of stuff to climb on, real and fake plants, I gutload his crickets with spinach and carrots and dust them about half the time. He is about 3 years old, but recently I have noticed a strange bump on his side.
To me it looks like an abscess, I had read about possible infections from cricket bites and I was wondering if anyone has experience with this sort of thing. I've uploaded a few pics to Imgur and I hope you will lend your collective expertise. I've been treating it with Neosporin, and it seems to have recessed some in the last few days. The glossy sheen is from the Neosporin on I've been putting on it. The abnormality appears waxy and is about 3 mm x 4 mm and round. He remains active and has been behaving normally, if maybe slightly more lethargic. He is eating normally and there have been no abnormalities in his... whats the scientific word...poop. In addition, the bump is hard to the touch and does not seem to be causing any pain when ointment is applied.
Please let me know if this looks familiar to any of you, and if so, what course of action is prudent. Thanks in advance!
