FINALLY!!! I’m glad you finally got a diagnosis. Jeeze. Hopefully things start getting better from here!! I often think of you and Nachito. Any time you update, I update my sister who unwillingly knows about all of you guys on here 🤣 she knows Nachito as ‘the chameleon who is in college’

Awesome! Just keep us posted how things are going

Ooooo I’m so happy!!!! This is fantastic news!

reptisun is perfect. We only reccomend that brand and Arcadia. It should be 8-9 inches from the bulb to the basking branch. Do you have the 22 inch one? This will put Felix at the right distance. As far as the fogger, I will not be any help. I do not use one. Where I am located typically stays...

Thank you!!! You and @Beman have both helped me so much that sometimes I get who has said and done what mixed up 🙃 🤣

I’m also looking at your set up, he could use some more vines/ branches. You can use ones you find outside as long as they are not from sap producing trees. Just wash with hot water and dawn and let dry and they are good to go.

Cage Info: Cage Type - Typical Cham cage; 2x2x4 with mesh sides and a glass door. perfect Lighting - The basking bulb is a 50w light, Zoomed I think. Just their typical basking light- not red or a weird color or anything. He was previously on a 5.0 reptisun coil UVB, but a few days ago I...

I will split this in two posts. See my feedback in red. Chameleon Info: Your Chameleon - Male Veiled Cham; over a year old; I've had him for almost two months Handling - I don't handle him at all. His previous owner held him all of the time according to her, but he's never acted like he wants...

Hello and welcome!!! Thank you for taking in this sweet little guy! Give me a bit and I’ll go through your husbandry.

Happy gotcha day!!!

Just want to say hello and welcome. I’m so glad he made it through the night. I have nothing to add as you are in the best hands possible right now. These keepers helped me get my guy with MBD back on track when I came here. Keep posting. Keep asking questions. I’m rooting for you and this...

Even though he is only eating crickets, continue offering other feeders. Chameleons are like kids when it comes to new food. Sometimes it takes them a few tries to decide if they like it or not. I recommend dubiaroaches.com for other feeders like dubia and BSFL. They are awesome.

Ok good. Just give him all the water he wants. 🤞🤞

So it’s not uncommon for them to ‘tuck themselves in’ for bed early. An hour or two before bedtime isn’t typically a cause for concern. But with the sunken eyes it may be cause for concern. Hopefully someone else will come along soon and help us out.

Ok. Yea they still need the hydration, just do not spray them directly. Chameleons are dry shedders and getting them wet will make the shed stick. So still mist the cage, he will still need to drink. Hopefully it’s just dehydration or stress. I’m not an expert and I’m just going off of what I...

Ok. How often are you misting and how? Is it automatic or are you misting by hand?

Ok I just went back through your other thread. Were you able to upgrade anything yet? The UVB is very important. Honestly it could be a number of things. Sunken eyes can happen from stress, sickness, dehydration, pretty much anything. Is this the first time you have noticed him at the bottom...

Hello! So the eyes sinking like that is not normal, and would not have anything to do with the shedding. Have you done a husbandry review?

Maybe he has something stuck in his eye? This happened to my guy once. I got some plain saline contact solution and dropped some in his eye and it seemed to help

Did he shed right before he started doing this?
