one eye closed. starting to look a little caved in my female vieled has had her left eye closed for 2 days now. it is starting to look a little caved in right where her eyelids are. she is eating and her activity is fine. her eye is just shut. could it be that she is getting too much calcium...

thanks reptoman, that sounds like a great idea! Update on Khamilah: I looked over at her a minute ago and caught her sleeping again but I still feel good about the situation because she was up and active for atleast an hour or two before she closed her eyes (before she would just move around...

I agree with everyone that has replied. Everyone has good points and views about this situation. I would do what has already been suggested if I were you which is stop all treatment and see if your cham can survive on its own. If it cant survive.... it just might be its time. I know its a hard...

Jessica, She pooped!!!! :)

I will definitely look into those two different plants you suggested. and for the laying bin........ thats going to be my next project. I do not have picture txting on my phone otherwise I would :/. Im going to try to get a picture up here asap so everyone can see what im dealing with. Right now...

donna, i usually throw a carrot or two in the bag with the crickets for gut loading. I have also been thinking about getting a plant like you said. Any suggestions? And for the laying bin... I do not currently have one but I will get one asap. Any suggestions on what to get or make for the...

shes eating again!!!

im sorry jessica i didnt see that. it been about 2 days. I cleaned her cage yesterday around 1 in the afternoon and she has yet to drop anything. I do not believe she pooped the day before i cleaned her cage either.

I have been thinking the same exact thing. I have actually done exactly what you said and sometimes turning the UVB off seems to help, and others it doesnt. I just turned the UVB off as we speak and she is now up and about. I wonder how long she will be up untill she goes back to sleep this time.

Oh yes that sounds like hissing to me. My chameleon does the same thing. She opens her mouth and hisses if my hand gets close to her but once I get her out of the cage she is fine. Hissing is normal. I believe your chameleon is perfectly fine.

She ate about 4 crickets and now she is going back to sleep :/ Hopefully she will get better day by day

Jessica, Thank you very much for your input. She is currently moving around like normal and is eating the crickets I put in the cup!!! This is the first time I have put the cup in her cage with crickets in it so I am very surprised at how she immediately went for it!! Looks like we are...

I do not have a camera otherwise I would. I am going to try barrow one so I can post some pictures. I just ran up to petco to get her crickets thinking maybe they would get her attention and make her eat since she hasnt had them in a few weeks and by the time I got back she is now awake, eating...

I turned her lights on this morning as usual and I just now got home from work. She is currently sleeping and hasnt moved much at all since I turned them on. It seems like she is getting worse day by day, sleeping more and more. I got her cage temps down from 90-100 (yesterday) to 80-90 (today)...

Thank you very much reptoman. Your advice is greatly appreciated!!! I am going to try to see if I can get her cage temp down by moving the light farther away from her cage.

Thank you very much reptoman. All advice is greatly appreciated!! :)

I think you are right about reptocal because i often have to take a few days break from using it because she sometimes gets crystals around her nostrils so i know she is getting too much. I will definitely look into the miner-all and the repcal/d3`s. her basking spot is about 6 inches away from...

Your Chameleon - veiled chameleon. female. 6 months old. in my care for about 3 1/2 maybe 4. never had a problem untill recently. Handling - not often, maybe once a week at most. Feeding - meal worms at the moment because of cage issues (which may be my problem). usually switch off between...

Dave, Thank you very much for your input. Now that you mention it, I have fake branches and leaves that are in the way of the uvb bulb and blocking some light. I am going to fix that immediately and I am also going to fill out the info sheet and post again. Thanks :D

I dust every other day with reptocal and I use a 10.0 24 in. Zoo Med UVB bulb, 75 wt basking lamp, 75 wt heat lamp, all from Zoo Med. My lighting schedule is 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.. Her cage is all screen and is about 30 in tall and 15 in wide. I know that feeding her mealworms all the time isnt a...
