There are several possibilities. I would say this calls for a trip to the vet. You have a beautiful chameleon there. Truly. How old is he?

Guessing he is about a year and a half. Adopted him from a guy in the air force that was not home enough to care for him. This also means I am not sure how long the bump has been there, or how fast it has grown. I just have never seen anything like this on any of my herps in the past.

I agree. Do you have a vet that knows chameleons?

We live in Washington State and can recommend several vets in the Puget Sound area. Oh, Spokane, you're on the other side. We are not familiar with any vets on your side of the mountains.

I am actually researching that right now. There are many in the area that will see lizards, but I am trying to find someone that has experience using a local vet. In the past, I have noticed that half of the vets that will see them, don't really know what they are talking about. Since it's not an emergency, I at least have time to look around and find a good one. I live in Spokane, WA.

Yah, that one lists Banfield as well. I am still looking, so hopefully I can find one that knows their stuff.
It doesn't seem to obstuct his eating or anything as of now, so at least that is comforting. I just don't want it to get any larger and become a major issue.
