What's your supplementation schedule like? Lack of vitamin A can cause a lot of weird things to happen with the eye. You'd need a specific kind of vitamin A they can utilize, which is present in reptivite multivitamin or Repashy calcium plus LOD. Is it like, a white crusty film over his pupil...

He's so pretty!

When you have the time, you could fill out this form as well: Chameleon Info: Your Chameleon - The species, sex, and age of your chameleon. How long has it been in your care? Handling - How often do you handle your chameleon? Feeding - What are you feeding your cham? What amount? What is the...

Yep, alaskan here. Also we seem to have got our chams around the same time, so what a coinkydink. I hope this girl can get the help she needs. She's lucky you came across her.

Not at all related to the question at hand, but I love seeing your girl @Eileen !

Hello, my fellow Alaskan chameleon keeper! It's so sad to think she was abandoned outside without a care for the elements around her...MissSkittles has given some good advice, the girls are really shy about laying their eggs. As far as resources, perhaps you could post on the Reptile Rescue of...

I was actually considering something akin to this, as well as wearing something outside of my usual colors, in hopes that he may think I'm a different being all together. I haven't been flushing his eye, just applying a warm compress to it (I'm not sure how I'd go about flushing it myself...

Cleo is just so cute! I'd consider myself highly blessed if someone so cute used me as their shedding branch. Since she's a girl, you will definitely want to read this! Girls are known for their egg laying, and it's gonna help to know what to do in advance. Another thing is, people tend to keep...

Haha, chameleons dramatic attitudes are so endearing and cute. I have to capture this aspect! Thank you for the compliments <3 I drew my little baby boy. I can't wait for his big boy colors to come in and I can make a sticker to slap on his enclosure somewhere. You make a good point, I...

This is one of their biggest charm points, for sure.

@kinyonga I've been using water that is just a little warmer than room temperature because I know reptiles feel heat differently. Maybe I'll go a tad cooler just to be on the safe side. I'm also kind of thinking how I can reduce his stress during the whole ordeal, because nabbing him from his...

Hello Carlton! Sorry if my response ends up a little long. So, yeah. I'm definitely wary about the vitamin A, because I know it's sort of nebulous and hard to really measure how much is okay and when it's getting to be too much. I was really concerned for him when he kept the eye closed and...

Another update: On Saturday, I gave him another supplementation of reptivite with his meals and, it's probably placebo, but the following two days, his eye was functioning again! It's still puffy and saggy, but I'm hoping things keep trending upwards. I also made a big new batch of gutload...

The way Stella's throat pouch retracts as she sets sight on that hornworm; she is such a character! I love how individualized all of their interactions with the treat are. Reptiles are so special. (Also @nightanole I love seeing Tarantula pics/videos and your fluffy spider looks so proud of...

Dang that is gorgeous!

I'm not doing bioactive myself, because I'm afraid I can't do it competently. I hear a lot of stories about uninvited guests taking root in the enclosures and am unsure I have the ability to deal with it. The thing about chameleons is that they really appreciate having all the coverage to hide...

Plants are definitely easier to manage once you have a larger space to work with. I have seen a lot of custom builds here that might serve to inspire. This is one of @MissSkittles builds, and it's bioactive to boot. She combined two of the XL reptibreeze enclosures and goes over how she made the...

One way to get a screen enclosure to hold humidity is to make it into a hybrid enclosure by using a window insulation kit like so. Several live plants will also keep the humidity within good range, too. I live in Alaska, and it's pretty dry here year round but I can still manage the humidity...

What a curious quirk. If you ever figure out a cause I'd be interested to know.

An update: Spooble appears to have this crusty "film" over his eye. It appears a little foggy and dull in color. I believe what I'm seeing at night, this "eye opened" thing, is this eye crust, and maybe it makes it difficult to close it all the way. It seems he definitely has an issue with...
