As long as he is kept warm enough, he should be fine. Just try to get him as much sunshine as possible. He should be fine without lights for a few days, especially if getting a good dose of natural UVB.:D
Buy a heating pad and keep them inside at a constant temp. I don't think the temperature fluctuations are much appreciated by the roaches. Moving the bin less leaves them "undisturbed" and lessens any chance of mishaps. I have never had a mishap, but there are plenty of the stories around.:D
I had my veiled out today while checking out the forum.
I thought he looked good and thought I'd take some more. I don't know if it was the flash, my finger on the button, or just the camera, but he seemed to act agressive. I got a good one of his mouth open.

It's difficult to culture without some "meat" product. Once they are flies the only meat left is fly meat. It also depends on the flies. I like the bigger green bottle and even larger blue bottle flies. I do not mess around with houseflies. The only problem with protein, I believe, would be...
OH GOD! You gotta love it.:D

I bet people would still look anyway, BUT......they wouldn't be able to gripe, "OMG, I can't believe you MADE me look at...
I use honey. They lap it up. If you let them feed for a couple of days they are better to feed, as they are well fed and they have had a chance to bulk up and increase their wing muscles.
I don't think it looks right. It looks possibly necrotic, but that couldn't just happen "overnight", so I am not sure.
I side with sandrachameleon and say it could be a possible burn or a case of it's hand getting caught in the door or something.
You should take to a vet to have it...
I've had the same problem in the past. I removed the roaches, threw away everything, cleaned the bin, put in new "furniture", and the final step was to crank up the heat. The bin must stay dry. Humid is ok, but sometimes condensation will collect and drip down and muck up in the corners...
Y'all should coordinate a flash mob routine to Culture Clubs "Karma Chameleon". You can make Chameleon Forum t-shirts with graphics of an OM and a chameleon. It would be FIERCE!:D
