Hey guys....so I have a problem....
Chameleon Info:
Your Chameleon - Starr is a 16 month old panther chameleon. I've had him from being like 3 months old.
Handling - he waits for me to open the cage in the morning, and comes straight on my hand, so for a few minutes almost every day.
Feeding - around 8 medium insects per day. I usually alternate between crickets and locusts, but also give dubia roaches once a week. They're gutloaded with repashy superload and leafy greens
Supplements - Zoo med repti calcium, lightly but daily...then reptivite once every 12 days
Watering - eco terra monsoon misting system runs for 2 minutes 4 times a day. I also use a dripper. I see him drink every now and again
Fecal Description - Appear normal. Firm, but not hard with a nice white bit.
Cage Info:
Cage Type - 4x2x2 all screen cage
Lighting - arcadia 6% uvb and exo terra sun glo
Temperature - basking spot is low 90s. The coolest part of the cage is 80 degrees. All digitally measured
Humidity - between 50 and 75%
Plants - Pathos
Placement - by the window, he loves to look outside. The top of the cage is between 5 and 6 foot high.
Location - England
Current Problem - about 3 weeks ago I noticed Starr was occasionally closing one eye. I took him to the local reptile vets, who thought because he had recently shed, he had shed in his eye. I was given eye drops, which were administered for 10 days. The eye appears much better, in that it doesn't close as it was doing. He definitely still has sight in it, as I generally put his food to that side, just to check his vision in that eye. However, when he shoots his tongue, his pupil moves, just showing the white of the eye in his eye turret. He quickly corrects this.
I had him back at my reptile vets yesterday who said this eyeball movement might be neurological and she might not be able to find out what's causing it.
I also went to the place I bought him from, one of the guys there suggested it might be conjunctivitis from being too close to the uvb. I raised my uvb slightly a few days ago invade it was this
I was just wondering what you guys thought. Obviously, I've done a bit of reading on here....could this be a vitamin A deficiency? Something else?
