The yellow spots could be a number of things…bacterial infection (abscess), fungal infection, nutritional deficiencies, and trauma. I don’t think the white spot is likely a burn…but I could be wrong. I wish I had a better answer for you. Is it growing/spreading in any way?

Happy birthday (almost) to Chameleon Academy! May it continue for many more years, growing in chameleon knowledge all along the way! Continue the cycle to learn, understand, and pass it on!!! 🎂🎈🎉🥂💐

You said…”X ray showed something not bony behind the eye. It could be inflammation, an abscesss, tumor, super deep debris maybe? ”…could be any one of those things. Hope you get it figured out.

Are the yellow areas in the white patch raised slightly?

Wow! Can’t believe they are ready to go already….seems like it was only yesterday when they were hatching! Can’t wait to see the colours they show as adults! Do you know how many are male and how many are female?

Place the cricket so he ends up biting it when he closes his mouth as you put it in.

Can you please post a picture of your chameleon on/near something that will show its size? The insects might be too small.

Try tucking a cricket head first into his mouth while he’s drinking and his mouth is opening and shutting to drink. He will either eat it or spit it out….but they usually eat them.

I was never curious about the formic acid, even though I knew it was found in ants, until today…and your mention of it made me wonder what other insects might have formic acid in them. There’s always something new to learn about! I’ve never seen a chameleon target an ant either…but I only have...

My leopard gecko trio lived together in the same cage, under the reversed season changes, for over 19 years.

@DocZ said…”isn’t the standard form that we ask new keepers to complete and then is assessed and critiqued by experienced members sort of also saying “this is the right way to do it””…it does seem to be that way…but isn’t it better to provide information that can keep the chameleons alive and...

Sometimes I do!

@DocZ said…”I reversed the seasons to how they would occur in the northern hemisphere since in the summer I get too much natural light to fool the Cham into thinking it’s the cool season”…I did the reversed seasons too. I’m not sure if it would affect their circadianclock or not, but it didn’t...

Geese Petr…I was going to get to that next! Like “someone” said…”I have only 24 hours in a day. It is a choice I had to make”! 😉

Sounds like she could be a bit more hydrated yet.
