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...

I am so curious about this guy. Any updates?

I appreciate the input, I'll keep this thread updated and see if we can all learn something. I'll try to be concise! Even if he's having a lot of trouble, I really enjoy getting to know the little guy and want to do what I can to get him over the hurdle. He's such a timid little guy, and the...

Apologies for replying to my own thread so often, I just figure maybe someday someone else observes the same issues and maybe I'll say something enlightening: The vet flushed his eye again today. She noted that his left eye has extra skin folds, and that the little eyehole seems smaller on that...

Okay, so all lights in the room are off at 8pm, however, as I'm in Alaska, the sun doesn't completely set currently until 12am. The sky is dark blue. This is just how it is in the spring and summer months. Puffyness and eye closedness aside, it's probably not a bad idea to look for something I...

Got a new photo. He was in the middle of eating, so he actually had the eye open. It looks a lot like it did before. I have a vet appointment scheduled for tomorrow, wondering if there's any suggestions of what I can bring up as a possible cause for her to consider. My thoughts are "maybe it was...

I believe it was March 27 or 28.

I applied neomycin ointment to his left eye twice every day for two weeks. The vet flushed the plug out (he wasn't sedated or anything for the process.) It's completely dark at night in the room he's in, aside from when I check up on him with my phone's flashlight. He is still holding that eye...

I observed something strange about little Spooble the past couple of nights. It seems he sleeps with one eye open. I can't really find much discussion of this behavior anywhere, and I figure the people here have probably seen most things and may have some insight. The husbandry is much that...
