Hey CF members! I've been absent from the forums working with our busiest season at the office. Things are starting to return to a normal rate so I'll be spending more time here! Wanted to share with everyone my 'new' adoptee. This nosy be panther is a son of chameleon company's...
I fed Rocko a wc locus from the yard and he can't seem to pass it. He's been trying for three days now to pass it. I've fed him baby food pears when I first noticed this. I've also tried to lubricate his anus with a qtip dipped in ky. He's still trying but to no success. Has anyone had any...
So glad to be spending time again on these forums. As always, the crew is beautiful and beautifully loved by you and your family Jann. Glad to see both Luie and Red are hanging in there!
Your uv strip needs to go across the top of the enclosure. I would take him into the vet ASAP. Have them draw a culture from the eye to see what type of infection, if any, is present.
Put out a shallow dish of water with a heat source over it in about two or three different locations in your home. Allow this to sit out for a while in the dark. Throw on the lights and get busy chasing the crickets and catching them. They will be attracted to the heat and water.
There was a really neat youtube video floating around on here a month or so ago that showed the different types of uv lights and their uv spread. It was really fascinating.

Right, but the fall off rate is very steep and if your raising the lamp up higher to back off the heat intensity the uv intensity is going with it. I wouldn't risk it with your beautiful lady, linear lamps are tried and true and allow the cham to get very close to it without risking a burn.
