Eye issue possibly

[Whiskey Jack]

Hi, We are by no means experts with chameleons. My daughter got a ambilobe panther for her birthday he is 4 months old. I have raised a nosy be before he passed after 6 yrs. It has been along time since I owned one and I don't quite remember every health wise. My question is that she called and said when he blinks his eyes sink in. Only when he blinks though I just didn't know if that was a problem or if it was a sign of a problem. Any info would be much appreciated. I am not back home yet to verify what she is saying. It may be nothing but I want to be prepared when I get home. Thank you

Without further information I am going to say that sounds like nothing to worry about. Chameleons doing their eye maintenance can look pretty weird if you aren't used to it

Maybe he jus cleaning his eyes at that moment,try give him some warm mist just to help the process,if there is more concern , I will suggest take ur baby to check with a chameleon specialist vet just to be sure everything is ok .
