is my baby ok?

[Bear]

hello, i have a 7 month old female veiled cham and on her casque there is a small white patch. just wondering if this is something to deal with or is it normal for veiled chams to get this?

looks like she got a burn.

Hello , it does look like a burn from here, but it's not the clearest picture. What wattage are you using for her basking lamp? Whats your basking temp? Here's a great caresheet for Veiled Chams - https://www.chameleonforums.com/blogs/chameleonsinmyhouse/395-veiled-chameleon-care-sheet.html

kinda looks like a burn but also could be some retained shed, can you take afew more pics

can her casque touch the top of the screen when she basks?

agreed. if that is the case a bit of neosporin can help with both to keep it moist and fight possible infection. some better pics would be wayyyy helpful

Welcome to the Chameleon Forums. This is a great place to learn about chameleons. I would highly recommend Silver Sulfadazine for the burn on your girls casque. I keep veileds along with panthers and a parsonii and have wrote a couple of blogs for new members. The first is for general care with a section and a link for females. The second in for the laying bin and egg laying. If you don't have a laying bin for your girl I would highly recommend you put one in with her now. Jann

sorry for the bad pictures.. cant afford HD haha. I felt the mesh infront of her basking lamp and it burnt me, so im positive it is a burn. i moved the light further away from the cage so im hoping this will make the cage a little less warm. I also did a temp check and her light was at 104*F at about 6 inches. the light is now at about 8 inches

That is better did you put the Silver Sulfadazine on like Jannb suggested since you know for sure it is a burn?

Welcome to the forums! Here is to raising a healthy, happy Cham

Silver Sulfadazine?

where am i able to get this? I have a Polytopic antibiotic ointment im just not sure if it will the same.

the silver is made just for burns- but if you do not have it better to treat with what you have than to have an infection set in
