I have a basically complete set up for a Chameleon, unfortunately mine passed away so I no longer have use for any of it.
Set up comes with:
1-XL ReptiBreeze mesh cage (24"x24"x48") -BRAND NEW IN BOX
1- Clamp light for basking light (has a light in it, but no guarantees on how long the bulb...
The vet DIDN'T! LOL! I actually read about it, and told her my opinion about the Vit A., then she did it. She actually tried to keep treating the eyes in various ways.
He did have the eye problem. One eye was funky, then he went to shut both. He normally was a great drinker, until this eye problem. When you told me that after a while it could take longer for the Vit. A to work, then it really seemed likely that it was the "cure".
Definitely something...
It sure would be nice to know WHICH thing fixed him! That would probably be a great help. :) I guess I can just list everything I did and people can try them all in similar cases.
But like you said, the eye thing had been going on for a while, so it could have been the Vit. A just starting...
I'm really unsure of the Vit A. He seemed to really go downhill the week of the Vit. A. That's when he got really inactive, and stopped drinking and his eye sunk in. Really, he started going back up when I started Reptaid and got him to eat the flies. That and the really long showers.
lol this is hilarious. My husband owns a hookah lounge and people are always under the impression that you "get high" and smoke illegal things out of hookahs.
To the OP my husband is always smoking hookah in our home, but never in the same room as our cham. I would definitely warn against...
oh I don't know about that. I just give a few as treats every few weeks. I usually get 10 at a time so when he gets his treats it's over a couple days, then not for a few more weeks.
I do. I give them every couple weeks. I just posted a video on another thread of my guy eating them. He LOVES them.

Update!
So, I'm not sure which of the million things it was that I tried, but William is now back to normal. He had really started to worry me with not eating, keeping his eyes closed and beginning to look very dehydrated. I started giving him very long warm showers, my vet washed his eyes...
Yes, finding out is important. I've been to the vet TWICE and have an appointment for another visit to another vet, with still no clue. Do you have any suggestions that will help me find out what's wrong? This is the second time you've told me I should figure out what's wrong, but that's why...
Three times for how long? I've been doing it more often but for only 1 minute. I bought a second bulb so i'll go check the temps to see if it brought it up.
He doesn't drink when I mist (well, when the MistKing goes off), he runs away from it. He only drinks when I give him a shower. I'll try putting the plastic up around the cage and get more plants. But will having the plastic affect air flow and cause problems too?? Just wondering.
I'll...
I know, he drank a ton last night when I gave him a shower. I'll give him another. I got the vet from Chad, but he said she wasn't an expert. I'll give them a call anyway and try to get in.
I know I need to resolve it quickly, that's why I'm trying EVERYTHING and on here and have gone to the vet twice. Nothing is working. His temp in the basking area is 81 degrees and about 74 in the bottom of the cage. I have 2 thermometers to get the readings. Should the temp be higher than...
He's still doing badly. I've been trying EVERYTHING. He hasn't eaten in about 2 weeks and he's starting to look skinny and his eyes are sunken in. I gave him a long shower today and he drank quite a bit and opened his eyes for a few. He is not drinking, eating, or keeping his eyes open in...
I'm having a similar problem. My guy has not eaten for 2 weeks. He is keeping his eyes closed. I've done everything: showers, 2x vet visits, eye wash, eye drops, Vit A dosage. He's starting to look skinny and his eyes are sunken in. I gave him a shower today and he drank a lot, but I don't...
