I know this is an old forum but I thought I'd post an answer on here for anyone else in the future that has this same issue and is looking for answers like I was a few days ago. My chameleon did not shut his eye for over a week and I was really scared because there was no was answers online...
Thank you for all the info I appreciate it. I knew something was off still but honestly wasn't sure where to start with but now I know what things need to be changed to give my boy the best and healthiest life that he deserves. I actually did some research and changed up his husbandry a year ago...
Yes I was thinking about that too if it is time to get him a new one. His outdoor cage is really big thats probably why he likes to be outside better 🤔

Ohh that's great news I'm also about 40 mins away from Orlando. I was just looking up about the discoids. Thanks for the link I was having issues finding a place that sells them so sounds good to me 👍
Thanks you for the care sheets and for the advice it has been very helpful 😊. Yeah I got lucky with him I think because I spend a lot of time with him and socialized him he ended up getting a good temperament. I will get him the super cal supplement and use that daily instead and only use the...
Ohh yeah they are a bit pricey but sound much healthier for him. Maybe I can try the black soldier flies too or try to find some discoids 🤔. Also thank you for the links 😊. Yeah the roaches here in FL are no joke for sure 😂
I'm even more freaked out by roaches 😅🤦♀️ but I like the fact that the roaches don't fly or jump at least 🤔. I live in central FL though so that may not be an option. How about the silk worms? Do you have to buy them online? I have never see them in the pet stores
Yeah I know 😓 I used to give him crickets too but they freak me out so bad 😖. I know might have to start buying them for him again though... I give him hornworms and waxworms occasionally but only as a treat because they are high in fat.

I've read that somewhere so that did cross my mind as well 🤔 and I brought it up to my vet last time he was there and they said it's not MBD. He falls occasionally but not like everyday so i dont think it's anything to worried about hopefully? If anything I thought maybe it could be because some...
Thank you, and im not sure I usually just ask for an exotic vet. I kinda feel like he didn't know what he was talking about tbh 🤷♀️... I had a pretty good exotic vet in my old town they were expensive but at least I felt like they had more reptile experience. Yeah I get it I never liked carpet...
Yeah I noticed it appeared in November when it wasn't there before and no I have not seen any oozing 🤔. I'm starting to think that it's healed and that it must be a permanent mark. I may take him to get a check up soon to make sure though
I'm actually not surprised to hear this I always thought he looked a lil chub too but when I asked my vet about it they said his weight was fine 🤷♀️. Im pretty sure they said he's like borderline overweight so he's getting there 🤦♀️. Maybe I should put him on a diet? I'll have to read more...
My chameleon Zim has had a dark mark on his casque since last November. I took him to the vet but he didn't know for sure what it was. He thought maybe it was caused by mites since there was an infestation in his cage from his reptile bark bedding it turned out to be infested with mites ( Btw...
