Do my Male Ambanja Panthers eyes look ok?

[Ryan Jarosek]

Aaarrgghh!! Yes that is lucky Bamboo, but it was not in the tank, just in a vase on the worktop outside the viv.
Thanks anyway!

Cool, just thought I would make sure. At least you know that is not the problem.

Clives eyes are completly normal again now ~ tis a mystery!!!
He shed about 2weeks ago,and did have some skin left on his eyes which did annoy him,but eventually seemed to remove it later that day. So maybe he does have some skin irritating them.
Will try the spraying routine suggested earlier, over this weekend and keep you posted.
Thanks guys for all your help and advise

Please let me know how it goes. I thought it was the strangest thing when it happened to my girl.

Often, when this problem becomes chronic, an ddoes not go away, it's a result of a nutritional imbalance - often vitamin A, sometimes other things.

What kid of supplements are they getting, exactly, and how often?

I dust their crixs every two wks with Nutrobal ~ crix are fed on greens & some times potato peelings.

Hi Guys ~ just an update on my chams eyes!!

Took him (i know you all say hes a she, but have been saying he for 7mths so can't get out of the habit) anyway ~ took Clive to the vets today, as i was so worried about him, and didn't want the risk of leaving it until monday (best to be safe than sorry)

And the vet said hes seen this alot with lizards, especially Chams - mainly Veilds.
But it is due to a vit A deficiency ~ his general health is fine, but the swollen eyes apparantly is a common sign of this (i know some of you did suggest this was a possibilty)

Apparantly i should have been dusting his bugs with Nutrobal every other day, not every other week as i was

He said if their is no signs of this going in two weeks i've got to take him back.

Thanks again, for all your help and advise ~ i really appreciate it.
Its so reasuring to know that all you guys are their to help so quickly

Fingers crossed he will be fine!!

Do you also dust with plain calcium? I used to use Nutrabol too, but only once a fortnight. I changed to Reptivite w/o D3, as it comes in a smaller container, so not so much to throw away when it's out of date! I learnt on here too that the potency diminishes with time once the pack is opened which prompted me to change brands. I also use a plain calcium powder 3 times a week - it's called Calypso.

Thanks for that Miss Lilly ~ will look on-line to purchase some of that now.
Was only using Nutrobal, did ask a reptile shop about purchasing plain calcium, and they said not to bother, that the Nutrobal was fine on its own.
Lesson learned for me now though!!

Just an update on Clive

Hi guys, just thought i update you on Clives progress.

He's thankfully picking up nicely ~ eyes slighly puffy at times but no where near as they were.
He's eating and drinking fine, so fingers crossed we're through the worst of it.

I disagree,

There hasn't been any reason to think the eye problem is bacterial. Why would you recommend an antibiotic if current treatment is showing positive results?

I would also leave it up to the vet to decide if an antibiotic is needed.

Thank you, Clive may well now be a she (i'm coming to terms with it now )
but she will always be my little Clive ~ i'm sure having a boys name won't affect her too much..................

well i haven't read the whole thing but my buddy had the same problem and it happened to be bacterial and it healed right up. I did not think that she was getting better.
