cham tumor operation w/photos

[Chameleons Northwest]

Found this article on the net this morning, and thought it was worth linking to here. It is from the Smithsonian Institute National Zoological Park. A very detailed article with full explanation and photos, of the removal and biopsy of a superficial tumor on a veiled cham. Seems like there've been a few chams on the forum with similar tumors, so thought you guys would like to see this.
