I know this is an old forum but I thought I'd post an answer on here for anyone else in the future that has this same issue and is looking for answers like I was a few days ago. My chameleon did not shut his eye for over a week and I was really scared because there was no was answers online...
Thank you for all the info I appreciate it. I knew something was off still but honestly wasn't sure where to start with but now I know what things need to be changed to give my boy the best and healthiest life that he deserves. I actually did some research and changed up his husbandry a year ago...
Yes I was thinking about that too if it is time to get him a new one. His outdoor cage is really big thats probably why he likes to be outside better 🤔

Ohh that's great news I'm also about 40 mins away from Orlando. I was just looking up about the discoids. Thanks for the link I was having issues finding a place that sells them so sounds good to me 👍
Thanks you for the care sheets and for the advice it has been very helpful 😊. Yeah I got lucky with him I think because I spend a lot of time with him and socialized him he ended up getting a good temperament. I will get him the super cal supplement and use that daily instead and only use the...
Ohh yeah they are a bit pricey but sound much healthier for him. Maybe I can try the black soldier flies too or try to find some discoids 🤔. Also thank you for the links 😊. Yeah the roaches here in FL are no joke for sure 😂
I'm even more freaked out by roaches 😅🤦♀️ but I like the fact that the roaches don't fly or jump at least 🤔. I live in central FL though so that may not be an option. How about the silk worms? Do you have to buy them online? I have never see them in the pet stores
Yeah I know 😓 I used to give him crickets too but they freak me out so bad 😖. I know might have to start buying them for him again though... I give him hornworms and waxworms occasionally but only as a treat because they are high in fat.

I've read that somewhere so that did cross my mind as well 🤔 and I brought it up to my vet last time he was there and they said it's not MBD. He falls occasionally but not like everyday so i dont think it's anything to worried about hopefully? If anything I thought maybe it could be because some...
Thank you, and im not sure I usually just ask for an exotic vet. I kinda feel like he didn't know what he was talking about tbh 🤷♀️... I had a pretty good exotic vet in my old town they were expensive but at least I felt like they had more reptile experience. Yeah I get it I never liked carpet...
Yeah I noticed it appeared in November when it wasn't there before and no I have not seen any oozing 🤔. I'm starting to think that it's healed and that it must be a permanent mark. I may take him to get a check up soon to make sure though
