eyes closing

[tryme]

My spectrum pygmy keeps closing his eyes is this normal for this type of cham because I know thats bad for say my veiled. I'm worried.

 

[ChromaChameleons]

What type , wattage and brand of lights are you using?

 

[tryme]

reptisun 5.0 its a bit away from his enclosure as im using it for my veiled as well. roughly 12-15 inches away. his enclosure is leveld so that uvb will penetrate through his enclosure as well as my veileds.

 

[dodolah]

compact? Linear?

 

[tryme]

linear tube

 

[Dean Pulcini]

are you keeping him in glass or screen what is the humidity? Also you should provide some kind of air circulation not a breeze if its in glass. I would also suggest a shady end of the enclosure.

 

[tryme]

its like see threw plastic one of them faunarium things it has ventilation all threw out the roof. I havent measured humidity as of yet

 

[Dean Pulcini]

I would check the humidity and a shady area where it can get away from the uv if it wants to.

I'm new to chams, but is it possible that he's just shedding? Because I think I heard from someone that they sometimes have trouble opening them while shedding. Then again I could be totally off.

It's wild caught right?

 

[tryme]

yes wild caught

 

[Trace]

Most wild caught animals just don't acclimate well to captivity. Tell us EXACTLY what your temperatures and humidity are.
