Why does my Panther chameleon have lumps and sores on its body?

This kind of lump/growth needs to be ideally assessed by your veterinarian to have a definitive and specific answer. Usually there are two ways your vet can do that a part from examining it directly during physical examination. A biopsy can be taken under local or general anesthetic, otherwise a smaller sample through a fine needle can be aspirated (this technique is called FNA= fine needle aspiration). Differentials include skin cysts, infections, benign or more sinister type of tumors. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.

This growth needs to be checked and analysed as there are many conditions and types of tumors that could look like that. take Buddie to the vet, they will perform a fine needle aspiration on the growth and send it to the lab for analysis. when the result comes, the vet will advise what needs to be done according to the diagnosis.

Thanks for reaching out about Regin. Most likely this is an oral abscess. Chameleons have greenish pus. If Regin is still active, he can probably wait until your veterinarian is available tomorrow. Good luck.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This may be due to a growth or perhaps an infection or inflammation. It would be best to have Goji evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. They would be able to sample this and determine what would be best to take care of it. Best of luck!

Thanks for reaching out about Stretch tongue and including photos. First thoughts are this is a male and impacted hemipenes. Second thought is calcium deficiency and coccygeal (tail) vertebral luxation. Check and correct husbandry and diet, but an examination with someone with reptile experience is recommended. Good luck.

Hi there, It looks like Panda may have either a bacterial skin infection or bites from a parasite. There is also a chance these a growths on his skin. I would recommend taking Panda to your vet for an exam. They can determine what exactly the bumps are and prescribe medications to clear them up. Best wishes to you and Panda. Thanks for using Pet Coach!

Those bumps aren't presenting the way burns would, but without a physical exam, it is difficult to say for sure. Infection would be high on the list. You'll need to have him seen by your veterinarian or a vet experienced in treating reptiles. If infection is diagnosed, S will need antibiotics. Keep him warm and as stress free as possible until he sees the doctor. S soak in a warm 50/50 solution of water and unflavored PediaLyte can treat or prevent minor dehydration. It may also provide some itch relief.
