Should I Be Worried?

[SteffSkell]

My 7 m\o female veiled chameleon was freeroaming and when I put her back in the cage I noticed something was not right with her head. She has a patch where her color doesn't change anymore its just dark and little gashes. I have no idea what could have happened to her, maybe she got stuck. I'm pretty positive its not a burn. She seems fine doesn't look shocked or stressed, eats and drinks as usual BUT I'm worried, I love her so much. What should I do? Does it look bad?

I made the pictures while she was sleeping so the discoloration can be clearly seen.

What is her basking temp?

It's around 85-90.

That’s kind of strange. It looks like a burn to me

100 watt bulb sounds like a little two much for a female but then again I guess it depends how far from the bulb her basking spot is.i personally keep my female veild basking between 82-85 and she does just fine. But then again might not even be a burn though it sorta looks like one but I can’t be sure

Okay, so today the mark changed from dark to a light green, also the gashes can be seen better on this picture. Has anyone ever seen something like this?

What do you mean by 'vitamin dusted crickets' , you need calcium (w/o D3) daily, multivitamin once every other week.
Also the Fecal Description, have you taken her poop to a vet recently to know it's parasite free? Otherwise there's no way of seeing it by the naked eye.

About the spot it may be a bruise but if all is back to normal now and her behavior is normal I'd just keep a close eye on it and try not to worry to much.

I did take it to a vet the other week, that's why I wrote that and by vitamin dusted I mean exactly what you wrote aka the right way.
Thank you for your answear, I'll try not to worry to much.

Too me this look like a burn, do you got a full picture of the installation? (with the lamp position, global picture not only the inside)
