He has just got better and better everyday. Pretty much about to start shedding too now. But his colour is getting much lighter and i can now confirm it was the light that caused the colour change but not through a burn :-)

Its fine...Thanks for the attention you have gave him. If he wasnt mardy im sure hed appreciate it too..

He definitely is.... I cant believe how quickly he is changing colour! I will always start the light further away from my animals in the future....

It is annoying. Things always happen over the back holiday weekends. My only debit card got eaten by a machine yesterday too! Typical always in pairs. He is looking even better now. There are patches of green appearing all over his back.... Really glad he's getting better and glad i now...

Hi everyone. As i said i was going to take him after the weekend. And im not trying to make excuses at all. I look after all of my pets as best i can, and since being on this forum i have organised to borrow a car as i didnt want to take him on the bus. So im a little offended tbh, sounds...

Hi again Lily., He is looking even brighter toad and more wrinkly.... So shedding is approaching :-) Every hour the light is further from him he is seeming to get better, cant believe a mvb being close can make him go black. At least i know its not a burn now. I will keep you updated...

Right here is my cham today :-) I personally think he has got a bit lighter...Browner rather than blacker like he was in my last photos.... He also has been far more energetic today! Didnt think he could be really, but he has. There is also a green patch that has appeared on him a bit. So i...

Here is my original post: https://www.chameleonforums.com/burnt-yemen-58062/ Ok well after moving the light i personally think he looks a little lighter today? Not 100% sure but will keep an eye on him. He's still eating and drinking well. Both eyes are still open and he is quite happily...

Ok the changes have been made. Thought id upload to show how i got the light higher. Fingers crossed this will correct the damage caused.

I really hope so. Thanks for all the help everyone. I will keep you all posted.

The light is a zoo-med powersun uv 100w And i have just read this in the instructions for the bulb - however if your animal turns unusually dark in color, goes away from the basking spot then the exposure time should be descreased or the distance from the animal increased! Surely that...

Righto thanks. I will just shorten the time on perhaps and move it further too. I'll have to buy some orange food too. Im guessing carrots is a good place to start :-)

Ok thanks :-) Orange foods? Anything? Is there anything i should do with his light other than move it? Less hours or a few on few off?

Ah ok. Well as it stands i wont be able to see a vet until next week, so do you think the best thing to do is change the light, Clean his eye and see how he goes over the weekend. Can i do sort of 2 hours on 1 off or anything with his light incase it is over uv exposure?

Ah it just feels like his skin..Just a bit dry. Can i move his light, perhaps not give him the light for many hours? and monitor him over the weekend then if there are no improvements take him to a vet?

The skin does feel a little dry yes. Thats why i thought its uv related, but it definitely does not feel like a burn. And fungal seems way off with how it looks and feels.

Am i being stupid trying the light for a few days in a different place? It does seem like the uv thing explains the symptons?

Fungal infection? Surely that would affect the consistency and feel of the skin. It is exactly the same as it has always been. I was leaning towards him changing colour as chams do when under high uv, which mine must have been seeing as i had the light set-up wrong and photokeratitis...

Im going to move the light and see if he lightens in colour. Could be a defense to the heat. I have been told the mvb i have has a 12 month life span. It is a really good make too ill try and find the box and show you. Gut loading i will change what i have been doing and give them a...

Here are more pics anyway. His skin looks normal apart from colour. It isnt sore to touch for him either.
