Blue spot on veiled chameleons veil and back?

[Adziadus]

Have only had my veiled for about a month and for a while now she has had a blueish spot on the top of her head and back I think she might have fallen does anyone know what this is a bruise or something?

No, she didn't fall. That is actually a thermal burn from being too close to her basking bulb. You definitely want to make adjustments to your setup and keep an eye on the burn. Most often they fade with multiple sheds....but sometimes they can get infected.

Thank you I thought that's what it might be I just know she did fall so I wasn't sure which it was

Other than that how does she look she was acting kind of lethargic today and was sitting there with her mouth open not sure if that's normal

You might be running your temps too hot. If a cham is sitting with their mouth open, usually they are trying to cool down. What are your temps at, both basking and ambient?
