The weird part about it was I was thinking the same thing that he looks huge in there in the picture but in person I don't find he looks that big in there. There is a lot of room still. I was planning on trying to find an old curio cabinet and make it into a terrarium for him though because I...

Kinyonga I actually did try that for 2 days, a lady at the pet store said to try it because the uvb bugs their eyes. It didn't make a difference. I am going to go buy some ExoTerra UVBs when the mrs gets home with the car in hopes that it will help him. I was hoping to avoid the vet because...

I took out one of the UVB bulbs last night hoping that it would help him. I turn everything off at night. This started happening when I was using a 50 watt heat lamp but thinking that it might of been too cold for him I did upgrade to a 75 watt bulb.

He started closing his eyes with the ExoTerra but it was the one eye that I was referring to. I took him to the vet for that. he started closing both eyes when I switched the bulbs. He seems fairly active and still moves around his terrarium but the closed eyes are bothering me. What signs...

It is hard to tell if he is sleeping all of the time or not because his eyes are closed. We rinse them out every night so they don't get dried out so I don't know why he won't keep them open. A couple of weeks ago when we cleared them out he kept them open and was eating good, tongue was...

Do you think that maybe the ExoTerra ones are better than the Reptisun ones. He never started closing both eyes until I switched the bulbs. Both were spiral. Might be a different issue but just ironic that it got worse when I switched bulbs.

he does sleep during the day but he is also still active and roams around his terrarium like he always does. The medication that he has is Ciloxan. The vet did say that if I had to take him back for the same issue she may have to give him a shot of vitamin a. that is a hard pill to swallow...

here is the little guy

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...

Thanks I know this is pretty outdated but I just read it. I just wanted to take a minute and thank you all. My chameleon has been having the same issue with his eye for the past 2 days. I have an appointment in a couple of days for him. His eye is sunk in and he keeps it closed most of the...
