Help chameleon eye swelling

[cadet21345]

I'm not sure if it's normal but in the pictures, you can see fat eyes. I have t5 5.0 uvb with reflector my gut load is 75% collard, 20% papaya, And 5% bee pollen. (FYI I would use alfalfa but I need to order them.) I check her poop and there were no bugs, her urates are a little bit dehydrated but that's because I was taking her out when it was hot. 6-5 lights on 5:30 Am and Pm mist for three minutes, fogger starts at 5:30 then is on for 30 minutes then off for 30 minutes and it cycles like that till the lights turn on. 4 roaches every 3 days. Vitamins with d3 15th and 30th, every feeding that isn't vitamins are calcium without d3 or phosphorus, and the calcium is mixed with bee pollen at an 8 to 1 ratio. And I drip but I haven't been as consistent with the dripper cause of school.

Hey there hun... Along with the pic of the cage including the lighting on top. May I see pics of the entire cham as well as your exact supplements containers? You may need to stop adding in the additional bee pollen to the supplements. It may be far too much. And just add the bee pollen to the gutload. You can do this later when you are out of school.

Did you mix the bee pollen in with your calcium? If so, then yes, you’ll need to buy a fresh calcium.

Multivitamin is teptivite with d3 twice a month. Calcium is reptical without d3 mixed with 1/8 - 1/9th bee pollen

I know I shouldn't have that feeder but she was going on strike for like 7 days before I got it, I looked for bird cups and they were out of stock when i got it.

There was none without d3 so I'm gonna ask my mom to order it but her feeding day is tomorrow and it'll be shipped on the 20th

She will be fine without until you get the new one next week. So dump the old stuff. Don't add pollen to anything but gutload...

Now per the cage... Feeder run is fine. But it is a bit bare. Can you go to home depot and see if they have any larger plants you can put in there? Umbrella tree, money tree, or ficus would be good and would fill out the cage for you.

The substrate may become an issue. Can be an impaction risk.

Walmart often has some inexpensive plants too. Sometimes they have a corn plant surrounded by pothos for under $20. When I first was getting started, I got a couple of these. I took the pothos out and separated it into a couple of pots and then let the corn plant stand on its own. The wide leaves of the corn plant aren’t the greatest for adding little roads, but they are great for providing shade, hiding spots and to collect water for drinking. My favorites for tall center plants are schefflera and weeping fig.

Ok I'll look for a weeping fig

Buying one big pothos and splitting it is a great way to save money on plants.
