Hello! You have gotten the best advice from beman. She knows her stuff. I know the mixed answers from different sources can be beyond frustrating. A lot of information is outdated but still readily available so it makes it difficult to weed out the good from the bad. I was brand new to keeping...
Hi and welcome!!! The only thing I have to add is when you get your enclosure set up, let us know and we can do a husbandry review for you so you have everything perfect for your new Cham. We are so glad you are here!
@Beman knows her stuff. She’s much more experienced than me. Please disregard what I said about it possibly being fungal. Check your temps as she said and see a vet.
Hmmmm it could be a burn, but that’s an odd place for one. Usually it would be on the back or the top of their head. Possibly a fungal infection? Let some others chime in, but that would be my guess.

FINALLY!!! I’m glad you finally got a diagnosis. Jeeze. Hopefully things start getting better from here!! I often think of you and Nachito. Any time you update, I update my sister who unwillingly knows about all of you guys on here 🤣 she knows Nachito as ‘the chameleon who is in college’

I’m also looking at your set up, he could use some more vines/ branches. You can use ones you find outside as long as they are not from sap producing trees. Just wash with hot water and dawn and let dry and they are good to go.

I will split this in two posts. See my feedback in red.

Your Chameleon - Male Veiled Cham; over a year old; I've had him for almost two months
