Hey everyone I am new to this group as a poster, I read a lot of posts. I am here because I have a 2 year old Veiled Chameleon and he has been keeping his eyes closed a lot lately. A while back he would do this with one eye so we took him to the vet and she gave me medication. Expensive and didn't offer much assistance. Fast forward to now. He is doing it again but with both eyes. We still use that medication and warm water and flush out his eyes. He did open them for 2 days but they are now closed again. We use 2 spiral UVB bulbs, Reptisun 5.0. This was the first time we used this brand, before this it was ExoTerra. Never had this much trouble with them bulbs. My question is, can it be the make, maybe he has 0 tolerance with these as opposed to the others that he is used to. Also I have a canopy by ExoTerra and it holds 2 spiral bulbs. Should I be using both. I have a 75 watt basking red bulb because we are in Canada and it gets cold in my place. He has a waterfall and I mist twice a day. His enclosure is a 18x18x24 ExoTerra Small Tall Terrarium glass. Any assistance would be great here. I am worried about the little guy. I was going to take him back to the vet but after last time she didn't offer much assistance. Thank you everyone.
