Need help black stuff on tail

[Btrainreptilekeeper]

She is wild though and she was like that when I got her

some signs of thermal burn are gray/black blisters and/or necrotic tissue on the skin and infection

​

Could it be an infection maybe from a prey?

Have you taken her to an experienced chameleon vet?

What are you feeding her? Most bugs don’t bite them or anything

 

[reignthafirst]

do you leave crickets in with her?

 

[reignthafirst]

if she does not eat them they they should be taken out of her cage other wise they can attack the chameleon

That depends on the species of crickets used. Acheta domesticus (house cricket) and Gryllodes sigillatus (banded cricket) are the two most common crickets used as feeders, and neither will attack chams

House cricket bite​

These critters are quite capable of biting. But they are not strong enough to damage the human skin. These can be found anywhere from your living room, your garbage bin to your garden.

But i am not sure if they can bite chameleons, @ERKleRose your probably right

I really hope it's nothing contagious because she was in my other ones cage for about three days

What do you mean she was in your other ones cage??? Were you housing her with another chameleon?

She looks very off in color. Extreme stress.

What do you mean she was wild? Where did you get her? Did she have this when you got her?

These do not look like thermal burns to me although your temps are way too hot. Look more like a fungal issue/ injury.
