Hello! I've had my female jacksons chameleon for just over 1 month now. She gave birth just over 3 months ago (at a petstore), and I am waiting for her to give birth again before I de-worm her (she came to me 2 months after she gave birth and already had pinworm) so the medication doesn't harm her babies.
Yesterday I noticed her left eye looked a little darker than the right and she didn't eat all her crickets (she's a pig with food) which is odd for her. Today her eye is very dark and alarming me. She's still very active, can move her eye without any issues, not lethargic, she's well hydrated.
Here's her care info:
temp: 80-85 basking spot, 70-75 ambient temp during day, night: 66-70. With summer I've just turned off her basking spot as her ambient tank temp is 75.
light: 10.0 UVB and outdoor light during weekends
enclosure: zoo med repti breeze 18"x18"x36" full of vines, golden pothos and schefflera (the safe variety with the gold on the leaves) and the soil of these plants are covered with sphagnum moss so the dirts not exposed
substrate: paper towel
water: misted 2-3 times per day (always mist prior to feeding as well) humidity ranges from 60%-85%
Supplements: sticky tongue farms miner-all indoor once per week.
food: mix between crickets, hornworms (treat), small mealworms (very rarely), butterworms. she mainly only eats crickets. all bugs are gutloaded weeks prior to being fed.
Thank you for all input.
