I saw a different thread on why veiled chameleons mouth is open but I have my own questions. This is my first Chameleon. Here is the details, Renny's nose had white in his/her nostrils around first shed (17th). I thought it was just dead skin. Now my poor baby dose it a lot. I moved the basking bulb incase it was the heat, he moved with it. Temp is 82 under basking. I had be dusting mealworms with vitamin c and crickets with calcium. He has been eating 5-8 crickets daily. His habitat is well misted periodically during the day and once at night. I cleaned his cage today to see if he would close his mouth in happiness but NOTHING is working. I read about mouth rot, and am panicked. His stool wasn't runny but moist. Every time I go to pick him up he gets mad. VERY mad, open mouth and lunging. I go up to his cage and talk to him and he shuts his mouth. I am so worried about him. if I need to post pictures I will. Please let me know what I can do.
