Yup this $20 style is junk.

you have a 12% sitting on top of the cage. Id move it up 6-12" just to be sure. Id also cut all supplements for a month other than a pure calcium powder. Your other issue, earthpro A. Where is your "every feeder" calcium? Earthpro A is calcium and a non D3 vitamin/mineral powder. But if...

I was hoping it was like "goat yoga" and you just did normal yoga with random chams crawling on you.

So you have been flushing with people saline solution etc? I mean you went to the vet, there is not much else to do. Is your bulb a 6%/5.0 or is a 12%/10.0? All can tell is its a T5HO. But i dont think that is causing him to force shut his eyes, that normally doesnt happen with incorrect...

Cant give you too much advice, but you do need to keep the eye open. You do not want it to seal shut, so when you are cleaning, make sure it opens at least then. as long as it can be open, at least the infection etc can drain.

thats a steal for horn worms.

The only thing i can think of is the bulb is hot spotting. You may need to angle it so that a n ellipse of heat is hitting instead of a tight circle. Or adult colors are coming in and we are talking about nothing. I mean aside from the coloring, its not showing any other signs of burning...

Normally they hitch a ride on feeders or people food. They lay dormant in the feed, then just add water and instant life.

Its not getting puffy. It might just be "slightly" damaged by heat because he spent eons under it. Now if he fell, then it would not be white, it would be black. Thats why its got a black ring, that skin can still change color, the white can not.

GG till the potho takes over or something starts crowding out the basking light :P

nah they huff all the time. Mine does it if i just turn on the light when its dark in the room. Also gotta remember than lizards have two choices, use front legs, or breath. So if its a huff after a long crawl, its just him catching wind back.

Chams seem to stay at one level during the day, so a long cage wouldnt be an issue. Some folks also put in towels etc that are washable for geriatric chams that tend to fall.

Worthless for a gut load. Can be entertaining for geckos/anoles. Most of my buddies give them "treats" of jelly or peach baby food. These things are just easy to clean up sugar water.

Spoiler alert, horn worms will eat horn worms...

I wouldnt touch it. Personally id just keep it as dry as possible. If you keep it moist and not bandaged, well hes just walking around on sticks and even through it own poo. Its better to slow heal with a sealed dry scab vs fast heal moist with the possibility of infection.

Looks like a standard issue inkcap that grows in most peoples compost. Its safe. Might even be a hairs foot inkcap that is super common and safe.

halogen and incandescent are interchangeable. "halogen cycle" bulbs just last longer and have a bit better color, and are normally directional (flood). Soon all of us are going to be buying small IR blasters.
