My 8 month old veiled chameleon came to me at 3 months old with what I assume to be an improper shed. He had some skin constricting around the tip of his tail and I could see where it had cut into him. I soak it every shed to make sure skin isn't building up there and making the issue worse. The tip of his tail is still functional and I have not noticed tail rot. We went to the vet today to see what needs to be done and she gave me two options. I can remove the tip of the tail or we can do a surgery to cut away the scar tissue and potentially save the tail. I was told by my vet that there is no guarantee that the experimental surgery would work, but that we can try it if I want to. Has anyone had this done before? Personally I am at a loss with what to do. I don't want to put him through multiple surgeries if this doesn't work, but is saving his tail the better option? Here is what it looks like http://i.imgur.com/rtY5mKL.jpg
