My Chameleon has a small white bump

[arevirailam]

Hello,
I've had my Chameleon since he was about one month old and he recently got a little bump on his side. I hadn't grown, but it is just the smallest thing. He's about four months old. I was hoping someone could help me figure out what is is. I can't finna any posts about anything like it, I am growing a bit concerned. He eats and drinks perfectly fine, but I don't want it to develop into anything serious.https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B21zMuXtGeGXSTAzanRma1d0ZU0 the link should be a picture of it

I don't know what that could be, maybe someone like @Andee would know. Maybe it's time for a vet visit??

It could be an abscess. tumor, cancer, papilloma virus or something else. I recommend a vet visit. Do you already have a good vet for your chameleon? If not then I might be able to help you locate one with reptile experience.

I'd actually love some advice on good vets, I live in a small town so we really don't have anything here

Where do you live and I'll see if I can locate one. Also what large town are you near?

The biggest town I live near would be Boise, Idaho

As jannb listed above it could be anything at this point. A good vet will be able to give you more info with a needle aspirate or a biopsy. If you are going anyway this will be a good time to get a fecal done. Try to take a fresh poop sample with you.

Here's two in Boise. I've not heard of the one mentioned above but I'll research it.

The only vet their that even mentioned Reptiles was Dr. Konsella and it said something like Reptiles and all other small mammals.
