    My 6-7 month male veiled chameleon is quite the healthy thing. But has what looks like a horn on his head, is that normal?

    Info:
    He eats the average amount, powdered crickets with jurassi cal calcium supplement. And crickets eat flukers food.
    His tank is glass and misted twice a day, i have a white day light goin, at 50 watts. And the red heating light goes on throughout the day when cold and on all night. (it's cold in the house).

    I haven't had a problem with him, he's always green with blue or yellow. He's alert and has a strong grip very healthy..and climbs and plays on the mesh screen at the top for i'm guessing exercise.


    But i've noticed he's had a white bump on the right side of his forehead, above his right eye. It looks like a horn, and a pimple at the same time haha. He doesn't seem to care for it but when i touch it he seems sensitive about it so i'm worried..

    Help please!

    It sounds like an absess of some sort. Any chance of a photo?

    They aren't completely unusual, but it is best to run your chameleon into the vet to have it removed.
