Well further to my post in this thread a couple of weeks back I can confirm that it was indeed the coil bulb that was causing the problem with my cham's eyes! From the day I switched to a UVB tube I started to see an improvement! After a few days he was totally back to normal and there hasn't...

Hmmm I'm not entirely familiar with the combination bulbs that give UVB and heat together I have to say. So I'm not sure if your bulb could be the cause of the problem or not in this case. Certainly if you'd be using a compact UVB bulb I'd have advised you to get rid of it asap. It would...

No worries. If you ever want any advice on building it or to see photos of my own etc just give me a shout :)

Hi Kntonoff, I have left a reply on your previous thread which will interest you depending on the type of UVB bulb you are using. My Veiled suffered from the same thing as yours is doing now.

If you are going to consider a new cage, would you be interested in the idea of building one yourself? I done this for my cham when he outgrew his baby cage. I looked at lots of cages online before deciding to make my own and it was relatively inexpensive compared to buying one. I think all in...

This may not be in any way related to your problem but please see my post further down this thread: https://www.chameleonforums.com/veiled-chameleon-crusted-shut-eye-128888/ What you are describing sounds very like the start of the problem I had with my Veiled. I'm honestly not sure about...

Can I ask you what type of UVB light you are using? Is it a compact (spiral) bulb or a long tube? I had this problem with my Veiled. It went on for a couple of months and many trips to the vet for antibiotics and eventually he was kept in for 3 weeks and given a liquid diet with all the needed...

I know this thread hasn't been updated for a while however I just came across it when doing a Google search for info on coil bulbs with Chameleons. I have a 6 month old Veiled and he has been having eye problems for the last month or so. He's been in and out of the vets a fair bit with...

Just wondering what the consensus is here on supplementation for Veilds? I currently use Komodo Chameleon Dust but am not feeling 100% faithful in it lately. Anyone else here use it? I also have some Vetark Calci Dust to alternate it with. Also how often do you supplement? It seems the...

Thanks Carol :) He's been motoring about a bit more today than yesterday so I guess they do have days where they just want to sit and others when they want to wander. Would love to know how it is in the wild... I never really used to handle him when I got him as I knew a lot of Chams just...

Hi all, I am new here to the forum. I have been keeping reptiles for quite a while now but I am quite new to Chameleons. I have a male Veiled Chameleon called Colin who is around 6-7 months old. When I got Colin he was very small and I kept him in a glass Exo Terra arboreal terrarium with the...
