Here's the background:
I purchased 1.1 Juvenile Ambilobe panthers from the All Cleveland Reptile Show from BA Reptiles. The female is about 4-5" svl and the male about 5-6" svl. These are not my first chameleons I owned 1.2 Veileds before and even bred them.
They are in there new (screen) homes, but I caught the male sleeping a bit this first day which concerns me (I wrote about this the first day I got them and they stopped sleeping after mucho rehydration and upping the humidity, but lately they both are back to sleeping and he goes into his "night mode" early ie picking a spot to sleep when the lights are still on. It's not just napping (he wakes up easily from that), it's like him going to bed for the night, color lightens up, sleeps trhough anything, etc). He's CB, looks very healthy (ie. no dehydration and VERY colorful), eats and drinks regularly, drinks a lot, but his eating has seemed picky to me, but as I was typing this out I saw him use the cup feeder for the first time so that's good. I also got some silkworms and hornworms for them, but niether has shown interst in them so far (just got them today). He's been basking by the bulb (90's in basking area and 70ish in other areas of his cage. There are 2 flourescent UVB lights above his cage. I started dusting the crickets with Rep-Cal Calcium with Vitamin D3 and Rep-Cal herptivite.
Today I also noticed something on his head, a fleshy bump, not sure if it was there the whole time or not or what it could be. It was hard to get in the pic, but hopefully you can see it. Any thoughts would be great:
