I purchased a male Panther chameleon from Backwater reptiles he had eye problem at first but it was from his shedding. I was going to buy a female from them but heard they were no a good place to go. Can someone fill me in?

I bought my male Ambilobe from Backwater and my Female Abanja from FL chams. And I got another male Abanja yesterday from petco. I usually don't like to buy from them but they had him in a cage with two bigger females and he was being bullied. I felt bad and bought him to make sure he got a good...
Thanks again on all the responses.Everyone told me what I thought from the beginning. I was telling my wife why we never bought from him. I just needed to make sure from everyone that I wasn't wrong for not buying from him. He does seem to breed healthy babies,but looks can be deceving...

Thanks for all the responses , I was really just curious curious . I've heard of people doing it to keep strong genetics. But was personally just curious
I appreciate it and I will definitely keep a eye on him and I already did away with the. Mercury vapor. I replaced it with a reptisun t5 HO. Hopefully that will help. Thanks again for the help never had a eye problem before .I hope its just a little shed and nothing to serious
