I can confirm Vieleds... My little "Fella" looks obese until I go to take a photo, then all of a sudden he flattens out, shows his ribs and makes me look like I do not feed him.

Highly unlikely Whilst we have seen transference for avian flu and swine flu, the chances of needed mutation for transfer to lizard would at the least be remarkable. Whilst it is not impossible, the chances would be so minute.

Simple answer is no.... But if you follow above advice, and fully research everything, and know you can accommodate, then you and your new chameleon should have a much better life as a result :)

Looking at the photo I would get him to a vet if you have not done so already. It looks to me like he has or is sloughing (shedding skin), my guess is that some scales are irritating the eye's and have possibly caused an infection. In the interim make sure you continue to give him water...

It is important to maintain hydration Hydration is a key component surrounding sunken eyes, I would try using a pippet to administer water a few drips at a time on his nose. And monitor, make sure he is also eating and being supplemented. Assuming it is hydration then yes his eyes...

Looks like it is not restricitng blood flow.. I would still leave it for say another 24 hours, keep the humidity up, if it still has not shed, then before handling him grab a 2ltr ice cream tub or suitable water tight container, then add water, I would make the temperature about 35-40C no...

A picture paints a thousand words. If the skin is restricting blood flow then it is an issue, this is to my understanding usually caused by a band of skin remaining rather than half a tails worth. I can not really say what to do for now other than monitor, it should come off naturally, if...

This could be because you have a enough surpless brain... To facilitate you to go against your instincts or rational thought.. perhaps. :p

Paranoid... I prefer to sleep at night safe in the knowledge that if the main system breaks their secondary system will kick in, if that fails then the generator will kick in, and if all the above fail that the diazepam will ensure the edge of the anxiety is removed.:p

Granted, however. If you stabilize the ambient enclosure temperature at 60f then you have a 10f margin for equipment failure at night, or electrical/heating in house failure at night. Canada has a habit of getting mighty cold in the winter, and I would feel more comfort in securing the...

No heat at night? Be sure the ambient temperature does not fall below 60f. Although maintaining his environment at 60f should be done without intrusive lighting or aggressive heating.

whilst there is a chance it is the light.. The problem could be down to many factors, I would try an source a uvb 5 strip light, I would also recommend having a reptile vet take a look, also if you have time could you fill in the how to ask for help form linked below, and if possible some...

Asap http://www.triciaswaterdragon.com/canrepvt.htm#bc I hope this helps Dr. Hugh Upjohn Eagle Ridge Animal & Bird Hospital 2599 Runnel Drive Coquitlam, BC V3E 1S3 (604) 464-3343 Barbara Coughlin Kelowna Vet Hospital 1955 Kent Rd. Kelowna BC V1Y 7S6 604-860-2408 Anderson's Animal...

Vet asap He has an eye infection, whilst I could tell you exactly what you need in terms of medication, a vet will confirm what I said and give you the correct supplies and guidelines. Please soon cause if he can not see he can not eat, if he can not eat, then it all go's down hill.

And there where these little fluffy clouds.. And then there was reality, so you came you asked for advice, you managed to construe the advice as some form of backhanded criticism. Can we start a fresh? Apollo. aka, Chlem has some form of abnormality on his right side, it is not reflected...

Both eyes now open :) Oh thank goodness.. :) Thank you everyone, who read this :D Think we definitely turned the corner :) Thanks to the vet also :) \o/

Left ey seems to be back right eye he opens on and off... ++ almost completed slough

I made a big mistake on the "care sheet" Basking high spot 85-90c Mid spot 75-80c low spot constant 65c Lowest temperature at night or at any time is 65c. Should be.. Basking high spot 85-90F Mid spot 75-80F low spot constant 65F Lowest temperature at night or at any time is 65F...

Update Went to Vet, although he can not see any viral, or bacterial infection he has given me Baytril @2.5%/17 aprx dilute @ 0.1mil every other day for 6 weeks. Also MetaCam 0.2ml every day. Also Clinagel VET applied to eyes twice daily. He is now really really stressed, but will not open...

I have very similar post running.. https://www.chameleonforums.com/veiled-eyes-half-shut-136405/ However my cam is looking a little fatter, and showing in my estimation no sign of dehydration. Just mentioning it, as if I get a solution or you get a solution we can share it.
