Im dealing with eye issues now with my Cham who is treated like a king and it’s very difficult to get to the root cause unless it’s very obvious, I could only imagine for a younger Cham with an unknown history
looking to buy your gently used Exo Terra enclosures, looking for the larger size/tall enclosures, I live near Chicago but willing to travel for pick up. Thanks!
Sounds good to me , when he get a little older increase his basking spot temp make sure you keep up with humidity as well, panthers are tolerant to humidity swings but donyour best to keep them at a comfortable level as well
As everyone else has focused on the cfl, I would advise to keep the eye hydrated, have him clean out his eye by squeezing some fresh clean maybe distilled water into his eye with a eye dropper,he may have a little bit of debris that’s irritating him, also would keep an eye on it, if it continues...
Your chams eyes closed could’ve caused by several conditions please fill out the how to ask for help sticky so we can better assess your situation, otherwise a trip to the vet would be best
I had a set of spare cages I set up for outdoor use, please remember to modify your cage set up for out door use, add tons of hide out areas under plants for shade and thermoregulation, the sun is great but WILL easily over heat and kill your Cham if you don’t take the proper precautions
Yeah sounds like you could use the extra help of keeping in a glass enclosure, if not think about a custom vivarium, you guys seem to have more options when it comes to that. The issue is the size, large chams like veileds like to have space to roam, especially as teens, glass enclosures are...
I don’t think there is enough details in the issue he is having for anyone to try and help, chams can gape to vent out heat, is he having his mouth open constantly? Is there any signs of excess saliva or discolored discharge from his mouth? Please add more details on how often and how long he’s...
Depends where you live and the climate there, I know from experience that veileds like space but if you plan out your enclosure with proper gradients, hiding spots and basking spots it can work out for you.
I have a bio active set up for my uroplatus, make sure when you are adding the drainage layer you put a piece of some sort of pipe on one of the corners with a hole drilled into it towards the bottom, this will act like a sump pit allowing the water to enter the pipe so you can easily suck it...
If you need help please provide more detailed information, chameleons being lazy is not an answer and you should consider seeing another vet, one with chameleon experience
