The small whitish bumps on your chameleon's sides and back legs could be indicative of several issues, such as fungal infections, bacterial infections, or even parasitic infestations. Since these bumps have been present for a few days and are still ongoing, it's important to monitor them closely.

Here are a few steps you can take at home:

First, ensure that your chameleon's enclosure is clean and free from excess moisture, as damp environments can promote fungal growth. Regularly clean the habitat and remove any uneaten food or waste.

Next, check that the humidity and temperature levels in the enclosure are appropriate for a chameleon. Incorrect levels can stress your pet and make it more susceptible to infections.

Continue to monitor your chameleon's eating habits and overall behavior. It's a good sign that she is eating fine, but keep an eye out for any changes in activity levels or appetite.

If you suspect a fungal infection, you might consider using a reptile-safe antifungal cream. However, it's crucial to get a proper diagnosis before starting any treatment.

Additionally, if you have other reptiles, consider isolating the affected chameleon to prevent any potential spread of infection.

Given the persistence of these symptoms and the potential for them to worsen, I recommend consulting a veterinarian who specializes in reptiles. They can provide a definitive diagnosis and appropriate treatment plan. Early intervention can prevent more serious health issues down the line.

If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask. Thank you.
