Point taken. thanks. Any comment on the eye issue?

eye closed Chameleon Info: Your Chameleon - Nosy Be, male, from Chameleon Company, 3.5 months. In my care for two weeks. Handling - Very infrequently. Once since I've had him. Feeding - Feeding crickets and mealworms. Gut load with fish flakes and spirulina flakes. Feed at around noon, every...

My 3.5 month old nosy be is active and healthy, except that every once in a while he closes one of his eyes. When I get closer to him he opens it and looks at me. Is this a vitamin A deficiency? I dust his crickets with vitamins once a week (beta caroteine). I also gut load his crickets with...

great vet I swear by Dr. Joe Filigno at the Blackwood Animal hospital in Blackwood, NJ. He specializes in reptiles and I've brought mine in several times. He fixes them quick and he barely will charge you. He likes it when people actually care for their reptiles and bring them in to him:)

cool, thanks. This is the most help I've found thus far but the difference does seem very subtle and I'm not sure I'll be able to tell exactly. I haven't been able to get in touch with the breeder. Do you think anyone would want to trade for a male?

thanks. So what should I look for when I find a new one? The bulge behind the vent? grayish coloration? I feel bad because ordinarily I would keep her and buy another male, but I'm a poor student and don't have the money or space to invest in another.

thanks guys...I'll have to track down this charlatan...

I bought this supposed blue-bar ambilobe at a show in Pennsylvania in March. The guy told me he was a 3 month old male. Looking back, I realize he was way too small to be 3 months. So by now he is probably six months old. My concern is that he doesn't really show any color and so I think it...
