Veiled Hatchling Spot/Bump/Scab?

New Member
So basically I'm a new forum member looking for some expert and professional advice, about our Gecko Rescue Office's newest mascot.

Chameleon Info:
Your Chameleon - Veiled Chameleon, Male "I think I see small Spurs", From what I was told this little guy is only 2 weeks old

Handling - I have not handled him yet to lessen the chance of stress.

Feeding - Im feeding a mixture of fruit flies and phoenix worms "extra small", twice daily, a total of about 8 to 10 insects.

Supplements - Sticky Tongues Vitamin, and reptical

Watering - 3 Heavy mists throughout the day with dry out periods between. Yes he is definitely drinking.

Fecal Description - Brownish solid with a small amount of liquid. Has not been tested yet.

History - No history

Cage Info: 10 Gallon Vertically oriented and a conversion with screen front
Cage Type - Glass 10 Gallon
Lighting - 60 watt Regular house bulb for basking, reptisun 5.0
Temperature - Basking is low to mid 80's bottom is 75-74, lowest night temp is high 60's low 70's, Digital thermometer
Humidity - Ranges from 70-80 then drops to about 50-60 for the dry out period.
Plants - No
Placement - At the moment it is located on an ikea coffee table near a window.
Location - Pittsburgh Pa

Current Problem - So the problem is I saw this dot that kinda looks a scab and just want experienced members to take a look for themselves to throw me any information I can use. We're not used to chameleons we only rescue Geckos and this is our first cham. I work from my computer at home during the day and have been overseeing just about everything that happens with him.

PS: In the photo where it is kinda dark he is sleeping.

Thanks ahead of time!

Jesse Jay

No there are no crickets as I stated I only feed Fruit Flies and Phoenix worms at the moment. I will eventually switch to dubia roaches though, and maybe some sort of silk or hornworm for variety. I'm looking at the first photo I took of the little guy though literally right when we got back and the mark is there so maybe he was bit before we got him although hes so tiny and the dot is also very small i did not notice it when choosing him. It's literally about the size of a period dot on the website compared to him that one picture is extremely zoomed.
