We have this chameleon at work that we've had for a few months now.
So she's getting bigger and such.
But we haven't had any issues with her.
Except...this past week.
There have been notes left expressing concern over the chameleon.
First it was the fact that there were slight crusties on the left nostril.
Then today there was a 'weird black spot' that 'should probably be checked out by a vet'
*exhales*
Which.
I'm glad that my coworkers are being attentive to the animals and are on the lookout for issues.
But sometimes they like to make a big deal out of nothing.
The crusties? If they only showed up the one day? Not an issue.
Especially considering the chameleon shed today the crusties probably could have been a sign of shedding or something.
But unless the problem persists for multiple days in a row...I don't see a reason to isolate something so small and unnoticeable.
Like the black mark?
That could have been a more major issue. As sometimes the black marks on lizards can mean improper heat or humidity for the animal...
But when I went to investigate it after seeing the note....
The black spot came right off with the shed.
Leaving the skin underneath unmarked.
So therefore.
Not an issue.
Not anything that a vet needs to see.
And definitely not anything that would cause concern for the animal.
Hopefully...I don't come into another note tomorrow....
Because the chameleon is big and healthy and doing well!
