A local zoo or animal park is another resource.Your local vets usually have some numbers for you to call as well. They may not know anything about reptiles but they often can direct you where to find an answer for local wildlife. Often the answer is leave them where you found them and let nature...

Are we sure this is a male and not an egg bound female? I would like to see blood chemistry, blood cell count and a fecal. Carnivore care is a supplement diet that can be used. You have to be carefully because their teeth are easily damaged. I'd recommend a vet visit asap.

Besides a fecal check, you may want to consider bloodwork to look for systemic inflammation and to check out liver and kidney function. Being in your care for two weeks could not produce such results so it was the improper care by the previous owner. There are no obvious signs of MBD but he is...

Besides cutting back on the vitamin use you may want to add a dripper for water. Also if you could post a picture it would help us.

You could ask the vet tomorrow to do a scraping and see if that gives you a clue. Looks very superficial what ever it is. It may clear up on its own. Definitely monitor it. As JCarlsen mentioned it may be superficial enough to be sloughed during the next shed.

Great looking animal and outdoor pen. Would love it if I had that room.Congrats and enjoy.

Honestly the only way to know what is affecting the skin is to get a biopsy. It will be a small punch biopsy of one of the lesions. It could be fungal or viral or bacterial. They all can look very similar. Good luck and let us know what happens.

I doubt any trauma or inflammation would result in less adherence of the eyelid. I don't think that happened. Be careful with the vitamin A. Too much is bad as well and can cause signs similar to MBD. A vet would normally give a one time injection or a one time oral dose. Again your reptivite...

Great photos. Looks like a trip of a lifetime. Very jealous.

This certainly could be from ants. Ants tend to attack the eyes and can cause the damage you have here. I would also worry about vitamin A deficiency. Vitamin A deficiency leads to dry eyes due to nonfunctional tear glands. Vitamin A can also cause swelling due to changes in the nasolacrimal...

The reptivite you are using has vitamin A in it so I would think this is less likely although we don't really know their requirements. Not sure about moving his eye within the eye turret. Unlike other animals their eyelids are fused to the eye so they cannot move their eye without moving the...

Some mushrooms can be quite toxic. Found this: http://www.gardeningknowhow.com/houseplants/hpgen/getting-rid-of-mushrooms-growing-in-houseplant-soil.htm

Another question related to drainage is how much water do people see going onto their walls and floors from automatic misting systems? How common is it to use the shower curtains or is that mainly to help hold in humidity? I am also still doing my research.

If Kinyonga is correct and I would definitely take it as true, I would recommend going to a vet sooner than later. Hopefully she will respond to oxytocin and a little calcium.

I would get rid of the dripper if he is using it as both a toilet and drinking fountain. This could easily set him up for respiratory disease. Does he have a respiratory infection now? Not entirely sure. Sounds as if he is trying to hiss at you. You could take him to the vet and get some...

This is the first I've seen this thread. Its a good learning experience. First I didn't notice much with the eyes but that skin lesion was consistent and should have been investigated by the first vet. When seeing a vet for the first time they should be going over husbandry. That is the essence...

I second what Carlton wrote. Its not from vitamin A. Vitamin A deficiency leads to a change in the epithelial cells in ducts and glands. Its often seen as bulging eyes because the nasolacrimal duct gets clogged. Vitamin A is also important in bone health. It should not produce lumps on skin and...

Some people have the means and desire to treat their pets with the best veterinary care available and some don't have the money or are unable to dedicate the time. Neither is especially wrong and both have the best interest of the animal and their families in mind. Its the vets job to give them...

Tongue problems are one of the top things seen in the chameleon. It can be due to trauma, infection, gout, eye problems but many times its due to low calcium. The muscles require calcium in order to function and the chameleon tongue has very specialized muscles. In a long standing calcium...
