Not seen that before, how odd.
I know a strip light gives of some heat but would it be enough to cause blistering? Does sound logical though. I hope he is OK.

i dont keep chams, but could it not be caused by to high humidity or lack of ventilation, i say this becouse i have heard of snakes getting blisters due to damp substrate, ive also heard of nematode larvae burrowing into the skin and causing blisters on the surface, linda id take him to the vets . he will proberly need antibiotics what ever the cause is, id also say treat with povodine/ iodine but until you know what the cause is this might do more harm than good, hope its nothing to serious linda best of luck |

Sometimes my chams shed pattern changes and they start shedding from diff parts of their body, do you think this may be it?
