Ok I just looked again and he has one his right eye closed and the right eye is still open. When I saw him earlier, I'm not sure if both eyes were closed buy I do know his left eye was closed as you can see in the pictures.
I walked by my Carpet Chameleon about 3:30 and noticed he was basking a little odd. His eyes were closed and he was sitting up. I took some pictures. Basking temp is right at 80.
Just in case

I would love to get an automated mister/sprayer but I have a glass bottom. I have no idea how I would go about a drainage system and thats the only reason I can't get a mistking :(
Thanks ferretinmyshoes, I think I just worry too much. I'm just extremely lucky for finding this forum. The people have been great and I think Kevin is happier for it! I'm going to continue to watch the temps and when he gets older, I may raise the wattage a little bit. Just to add a little...
My chameleon wouldn't eat either for the first 5 days but then today I saw him eat! Sometimes it takes time for the new guy to feel comfortable but there are a few here that told me their's started eating as soon as he got home. I guess there are a few lucky ones:mad:
Ok it sounds normal thanks guys.
I do have my lights on a timer. Lights come on at 7:30 and off at 9. I have different layers of vines so that if he wants to get higher or lower he can so he can self regulate the temp, also the basking spot is in the front right hand corner so if he needs...
Every morning I wake up and my Carpet is a dark green color under the basking light. When he sleeps he a beautiful bright green color. I was just wondering what is the normal color during basking? He is 3-4 months old and the basking temp is right around 80
Hey guys, I got a carpet chameleon last wednesday and was worried because I still haven't seen him eat. I left 6 crickets in his feeder cup but he never touched them. I wasnt sure if they got out or if he ate them when I wasn't looking. Well tonight I gave him a dozen crickets and left the...
My chameleon has been home since Wednesday and he wont eat. I've held crickets and mealworms about an inch to his face and he doesn't pay them any mind. I am getting a little worried. I don't want to release the crickets in his cage because frankly, I doubt he'll ever find them at the bottom...
I'm not an expert at all but I've owned 3 veiled and this week I got a carpet and I love him! I was in the same boat as you. I wanted a chameleon but I wanted a smaller breed. I did my research and found the carpet. From what I hear, they are more timid than other species but my little guy...
I didn't have to go through this because my chameleon arrived a day early! I thought he was coming in on Thursday but he arrived this past wednesday. I purchased him Sunday thinking he will be here Tuesday but received a call saying they will ship him Tuesday or at the latest Wednesday and...
