Hi! I adopted a male panther cham a few days ago, and today I noticed a spot on his tongue and I’m not sure if it is mouthrot or something else? He also has several spots with stuck shed, some of those spots look weird too, almost like growths. I’m not sure of the best way to deal with those.
I’ve filled out the health questionnaire below.
I had to screenshot from a video to get a pic of his tongue, sorry if it’s hard to see!
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Chameleon Info:
- Your Chameleon - Male Panther, about two years old, I have had him for three days
- Handling - I have tried to keep it to a minimum, but he seems pretty comfortable with people and comes to the front quickly for food.
- Feeding - He has been eating mostly crickets, dubias, and super worms. I plan on adding silkworms and hornworms to the mix as well.
- Supplements - Feeders dusted with repti calcium with no vitamin D. I plan on adding repti calcium with D and rep-cal herptivite alternating each once a week
- Watering - Water fountain (please no hate on this, it is made specifically for reptiles and comes apart very easily and I clean it every other day). I also mist morning and night. I’ve seen him drinking from the fountain
- Fecal Description - They look normal, white urates. I haven’t had him tested for parasites yet
- History - I got him from someone on Craigslist a few days ago, he seems healthy except for the stuck shed and weird spot on his tongue. His lighting and cage seemed appropriate, but I already had my own larger cage from my old cham
- I am skipping the rest of the questions since I only got him a few days ago.
Current Problem - The spot on tongue and stuck shed. There is stuck shed on the ridge above one eye, and well as random spots on his body. These concern me as well-they almost look like little growths?
