Its on the waterfall which we just put back in today. we actually had a different waterfall origionally with no lights and it leaked in the cage so we took it out.

Thank you. I dont think its a vitamin A deficiency. I have a feeling it may be the lights. We had an iguana for 14 yrs, so we are very familiar with retiles. Chameleons are a bit more sensitive than iguanas though.
We have a veiled chamaleon names Rambo. He is about 2 mos old i think. We purchased him from Pet Smart 1 mo ago. He had his first shedding and now has not opened his eyes (today makes day 6).
