thank you all, I believe the bulb is zoo med and it's 0.5 UVB... I've taken him to the only vet I know of around me to fix his eye and he suggested that it was a respiratory infection and that he didn't think anything was actually in the eye from the looks of it. so he was on meds for a few...

Please help :( I was having eye problems with my cam a month ago and then he was starting to get better but now he's just worse again : / his right eye is always swollen. sometimes he wont open it. He also has his days where he just sleeps all day and then some days he's all over the place...

I just use natural spring water.. and the night bulb I use doesn't give off hardly any light. It's like a purple light but it isn't bright at all. plus my house is only 60 somethin degrees

my vet told me when my chameleon was younger to give him more vitamin supplement than calcium and when he got older to switch to more calcium. Sorry if I was misinformed I'll research it.

that sounds like a really good idea but I have chlorine in my water

oh I don't leave him there I hold him. He hates the spray bottle, it stresses him out but seems to like a warm bath much better.

I don't kno how old your chameleon is, but the older they get the more calcium supplement they should recieve.

are you still having problems with your cham? Mine is having similar problems right now. They get dehyrdated very easily, especially if you haven't had a drip system (which is definitely the best for chameleons). How often do you witness him drinking? Dehydration could explain the eye problem...

mine has elbows that have a different scaling on them too.. I dont know if Id describe it as crusty though, just a little more rough than the rest of him. I was told by the vet that it was normal. hope that helps

for anyone who is having the same problems, I got in touch with a couple reptile specialists who all told me the same thing; the reason he has been keeping his eyes shut more and doing the balloon-blow-up thing is because he’s dehydrated and has a vitamin deficiency. The most important thing to...

His eyes dont seem that much better when he's out of the cage, he does keep them open more though because he's curious and wants to walk around. But I use a Zoo med basking spot light and a Zilla heat bulb for night. The UVB light is Zilla as well and it's just a long tube. I've been told...

It's not that he's lost interest in eating it's that his eyes bother them so much he doesn't keep them open long enough to focus on the insects; he sees them, goes for them but then closes his eyes. and it's freezing in my house and thats how many lamps it takes to get it up to 85 degrees. He's...

info Chameleon Info: Panther Chameleon, almost 2 yrs old Handling - not very often, sometimes when feeding Feeding - 12 Lg gutloaded crickets every other day, usually dust with calcium every now and then an all around vitamin supplement. mealworms and wax worms, 5 each every other day...

I took my panther chameleon to the vet concerning his eyes and the vet told me it was most likely a sinus infection. So he was on medication and eye drops for a few weeks and it didn't make much of a difference. He keeps his eyes shut much more than normal. Sometimes he does this weird thing...
