Hello again everyone. I hoped I wouldn't have to post a new thread in the health forums for a while (or ever again, I hate when something's wrong!) but here I am. I was ill informed when I first bought my male veiled chameleon in that I wasn't told that I needed cal with d3, in fact I had no idea until I came here. Was having issues with some shakiness until I got him a calcium with d3 and after a week he is much better however I have a new problem
. My 6 month old Cham Blue has some odd bumps on his front legs (please see photos). He tries to move away if I touch them and hisses, so it appears that they hurt. He has a 70 watt heat bulb and a reptisun 5.0 uvb bulb. Eats mostly gutloaded crickets with a few mealworms in between as extra treats. Lives in a glass/screen combo cage. Humidity around 60-80 percent but higher if I mist especially heavily (having the heater on makes my air extremely dry!) crickets are dusted with a multivitamin every other week and I just gave him d3 calcium for the first time last Friday as well as calcium now 3x per week (again as I said I was misinformed that the multivitamin I was giving him had enough calcium, but now I know better thanks to this awesome website and the amazing members!) very much hoping that this isn't anything serious and will heal! Really would appreciate anyone's thoughts on this!
Had to put him on the top of my computer for him to sit still, but here you can really see the 2 bumps on his front leg.
This is his right side. Definitely not as bad with only 1 of the bumps, however it is one too many. I am very concerned.
