Chameleon Info:
* Your Chameleon - The species, sex, and age of your chameleon. How long has it been in your care? Nosy Be hatched 1/15/2020
* Handling - How often do you handle your chameleon? A couple times a week for less then 2 mins
* Feeding - What are you feeding your cham? What amount? What is the schedule? How are you gut-loading your feeders? I feed silkworms, crickets, BSFL, superworms. I’ve tried dubias but neither of my Cham’s like them. I have tried wax worms but not into them. I dust with cal without D3 daily with bee pollen. I cut load with collard greens, carrots and sweet potatoes. I allow my crickets to mingle in the bee pollen for at least 30 mins prior to adding calcium and feeding.
* Supplements - What brand and type of calcium and vitamin products are you dusting your feeders with and what is the schedule? Repti calcium without D3 every feeding expect on silkworms and BSFL and rasphy LoD (I spelled it wrong I’m sure)
* Watering - What kind of watering technique do you use? How often and how long to you mist? Do you see your chameleon drinking? I use distilled water only and hand mist before lights on and after lights off for maybe 1-2 mins. Not directly on Cham. I use distilled water in a dripper 2-3 times a day for no more then 5 mins.
* Fecal Description - Briefly note colors and consistency from recent droppings. Has this chameleon ever been tested for parasites? Normal poop and white urine. All in nice and firm never been old or questionable. I check everything daily.
* History - Any previous information about your cham that might be useful to others when trying to help you. I’ve had him since he was 13 weeks old and I’m at a loss. I’ve saw a lot of Cham’s suffer due to incorrect UVB and before I got my boy the breeder had to see my setup which is great.
Cage Info:
* Cage Type - Describe your cage (Glass, Screen, Combo?) What are the dimensions? XL screened reptile breeze. All live plants with fake vines.
* Lighting - What brand, model, and types of lighting are you using? What is your daily lighting schedule? 22 “ 5% T5HO and BR30 65 watt non LED. 7:30 am - 7:30 pm
* Temperature - What temp range have you created (cage floor to basking spot)? Lowest overnight temp? How do you measure these temps? Digital and
82 - 85 basking spot.
* Humidity - What are your humidity levels? How are you creating and maintaining these levels? What do you use to measure humidity? Digital / live plants - humidity during day 50-60 and might drop to 40- 50
* Plants - Are you using live plants? If so, what kind? Corn plants, focus and birds of paradise
* Placement - Where is your cage located? Is it near any fans, air vents, or high traffic areas? At what height is the top of the cage relative to your room floor? It’s in the open living / dinning area that nobody ever uses. It’s on an end table at least 2 feet off the ground. He’s always higher up then me unless he comes down midways in his cage.
* Location - Where are you geographically located? I’m in Tucson AZ my house stays 69-74 during the hot summer and 73-75 during winter. I’ve not had him during the winter yet.
Current Problem - The current problem you are concerned about.
Just noticed he’s rolling his eyes like trying to get something out maybe. and one has shed or something on it and he’s now closing his eyes during lights on. I mentor new Cham owners and completely at a loss.

Not sure if I have any sure fire answers for you, but can offer a little. It does look like shed on his left eye. Hard to tell is there’s any drainage from your pic. The vine you have is known for having small particles of it come off as the chameleon rubs against it. As your cham is shedding, it may be that your cham rubbed it’s eye on that vine and has gotten vine particles in his eyes. I would get rid of those vines and once he has completed shedding, provide some extra long misting sessions.
