Hello, i have a breeding pair of bearded pygmy chameleons, and my female has recently developed what looks like a swollen bump over her nasal cavity.
She has recently laid her 3rd successful clutch of eggs and she has gone down hill since then. She was a very avid eater and recently since developing this bump under her eye on her nasal cavity it has gotten bigger and the skin looks whitish, she has become very lethargic and is not eating properly.
Now i know these little guys do not have a long life span at all, but i was wondering if anyone had encountered this before and if there is anything i can do for her. She has never displayed these symptoms before let alone any illness, she has been very hardy. I do not know if she possibly had retained some eggs during her laying period or not
if anyone could help me with this it would be greatly appreciated. thank you!

I do not know her exact age because my pygmies are wild caught, i estimate her to be anywhere from a year and a half to 2 yrs old.
They have live plants and eco earth substrate in their aquarium. They do not eat the plants and or the substrate, and are cup fed.
They have a daylight t8 bulb, and their temps are between 71 and 76 during the day and drop to 68 at night.
Misted twice daily and food changed daily.
