Hmm, I've never heard that on the water, I generally just squirt it on the front of his mouth/snout and it drips down into his mouth. Cage is near a window but it's closed, heat is consistent. The other day when he had his head straight up he didn't have his mouth open, although his mouth seems...

Hi all, it's been a while, just wondering if anyone has any thoughts on my situation. Vinny has gone through periods of improvement, but is now going back downhill again. I've taken him to the vet, who gave me some antibiotics and liquid calcium. From reading other threads, I'm beginning to...

Not exactly worse, but he's been having these eye issues on and off since last spring, it's really annoying because I can't seem to figure out what the issue is. More annoying is the fact that all the vets near me claim to have reptile specialty, but when you get there they know nothing.

I've upped water, etc, still about the same. Some days his tongue is working, other days it isn't, I really don't know what's wrong with him, probably have to take him back to the vet but it always ends up in cost and no resolution to the problem.

Here's a pic, his eye facing is shedding, he really seems to be in good health otherwise, he was eating with his tongue yesterday.

The mouth is generally just open at the tip, and not all the time. It may be calcium, I've cut off on the minerall for a while because I thought it was a D3 issue, I'm going to get some minerall without D3 and see if that helps. I really appreciate all the assistance on here guys, my issue...

Good point, I'll cut spinach and make sure the humidity gauge is working properly.

Hi all, I had a thread a while ago where my chameleon Vinny (1 yr 9 month old male) was having some issues with his eyes not opening in the morning. This got better, and he was fine for a while, but now he's back to having closed eyes in the morning. They open after I spray some water on them...

Guys- just wanted to update everyone. After about 10 days of this weird eye situation, the problem seems to have abated. He's woken up normal the past 3 days, is active, and has eaten a bit. Thanks for all the advice over the course of this thread, this forum is a great resource with great...

Good idea, but I don't have a ficus in there, just pothos and some kind of palm. Both eyes currently, but it seems to only be happening when he's sleeping- like he's super hung over in the morning or something. What does terramyacin do? Thanks for all the replies, hopefully I can get this...

Yeah, I've had a similar problem with roaches- he's always eaten worms and crickets out of a cup (been doing it since he was tiny) but the roaches generally don't move. Somehow he's figured out when they're in the cup now, but it still isn't as easy as worms, and sometimes takes a few days for...

I was just going to post up the current condition, I've been waylaid with exams. Basically, exactly the same since we went to the vet last week. Wake up- eyes shut, I squirt some saline into each eye in the morning, they immediately open, and he's fine for the rest of the day. He drank, he...

Yep, syringed both eyes this morning and they were perfectly fine in a few minutes. It's like his eyes get glued shut while he's sleeping, it's always a morning thing. He just ate a few worms that I dusted pretty heavily, maybe that'll help. I'm hoping it's just a temprorary thing.

Dammit- I don't believe it, again this morning eyes closed- this is so weird and annoying, the vet gave me a syringe, I may just do some saline again.

Few pics today-

Just got back from the vet and Vinny's doing fine now. She couldn't see anything wrong with him and said he was in great health other than the eye situation. So, she did a saline flush on his eyes (I've never seen him more pissed in his life) and now his eyes are back to normal. She said...

Guys- really no improvement this morning, I've found 1 vet in town who claims to be versed in reptiles, I'm going to take him over there this morning. I'll let everyone know what the deal is.

Thanks Slik, really appreciate all the assistance. I'm hoping his eyes will be better in the morning, it's been on and off- some days just one eye, or today both. I'll give an update in the morning, if it is the UV- what should I do going forward? If it's vitamin A, I'll have to see about...

Okay, looked at that link, I've turned off everything but the basking light- really weird it would just develp like that, I've had the same lamps in there forever.

Well, I've removed the 4 other bulbs, now all he has are the two 5.0 florescents, a halogen basking light and the zoo med day light. The 5.0's are over a year old, I just can't think he's getting that much UV and it's also strange that it would come on all of a sudden. I'm not feeding him...
