Thanks for the advice guys. I put some silvadene cream on him last night and could see some healing today aldready. Plus, he's shedding so I hope that can get the damaged skin off of him. :D
It looked to me like a burn at first, but the skin in that area still reacts. It still turns dark or bright, but it just remains blue. My chameleon usually NEVER goes really close to the basking light. He is usually 7-15 inches away from it. Living in Texas, it really doesn't get cold here. I...
I was just proving the theory that mealworms could be a good feeder if fed right. By all means please do not take this as an excuse to feed your chams only mealworms. In fact, even feeding them plain crickets is better than feeding them plain mealworms. Not that you should do either...

A shoe box isn't going to hold those crickets very long. Try putting the shoe box and its lid inside your crix bin. The bugs (i'm guessing beetles) are nothing to worry about. They just eat the excess food that the crickets might leave behind. If they moult, you could also feed them to your...
My chameleon is shedding his skin in parts. He was done with his body a day ago and is now starting on his tail. Is this normal, or should he be shedding all at once? Am I lacking something in his diet?

Why don't you give it anti-parasite medicine? Turtles get lots of diseases and parasites. I once found a 3" leech in a flap on a red eared slider that I saved.
