I think you may need to look at thing such as dehydration or cleaning the environment, I recently had precisely the same issue with my male : he was walking around with both eyes shut.
I gave him a good watering with warm water ( sprayed directly on his face and body and near his eyes too -...
Thanking you for all of your suggestions, it looks like spraying him last night has done the trick! And a heavy spraying directly on him this morning too. I've come home today and he's up to his usual tricks of playing hide and seek.
He's now looking at me as if to say why am I so worried...
I don't have a way of getting photos onto my computer unfortunately...... but when i go out i leave my room windows open which allow a draught to go through the ventilation things at the back of the enclosure, My viv is in between two windows.

Crickets being fed are small ones - just the same size as the gap between his eyes (have been advised to use this as a guide).
I have been advised by the pet store not to be too concerned as at least he is actually eating, and not to pot feed them as they're not...

Here I have for sale my Reptibreeze

The Reptibreeze has never been used, but has been assembled for around 6-8 months, due to financial constraints I have been unable to complete setting up my Chameleon housing and I am inheriting a friends complete set up, which is...
I have an issue with the vines.... I have used the mesh on the flexarium to cable tie the ends to the side / top of the enclosure and have used cable ties to tie them together too for a little more stability.
The problem I have is that I fear when i do get my chameleon, the vines will be too...
yeah i'm getting a yemen chameleon, a baby one but not sure how old it will be yet. around 6 months maybe from what i've seen in reptile stores.
Although i'm way off finishing the enclosure so far.
I Have a flexarium which is made of a nylon mesh, but having trouble finding something...
So as long as they don''t have a substrate and as long as i don't keep the temps high, they should be ok ?
What is the lifetime of crickets, when i get a baby cham im gonna need to know what size to buy etc, how do i know what size to buy ?

I bought the 122 x 76 x 46 cm exo terra flexarium for £59.99 (equivalent to around $100, you might be better off looking on ebay. Although mine was bought on the internet through a company called swell reptiles uk, don't know if they export or not....
i'm a newbie so just setting up and...
I have found an online store where i can get crickets at a reasonable price, the only issue i have is that they come as a minimum order of 500 for £1.49.
I want to know if / how i can house that many and stop them from breeding, because i don't want hundreds and thousands of crickets to deal...
I have the exo terra 100 gallon flexarium, its 122cm tall x 76cm wide x 46cm deep which is good for an adult chameleon, though i do want to build a bigger enclosure for when it becomes an adult because i'm just thinking how that poor animal is going to feel trapped iside there when it gets much...
I have narrowed down to a list of plants / small trees that i can use for my chameleon when i get it, as well as having a couple of fake vines and some fake ivy.
-Ficus Benjamina
-Geraniums (Pelargonium)
-Japanese Aralia
-Golden Pothos
-Zebra Plant

Im using an exo terra 100 Gallon flexarium, which consists of a structure of plastic tubing and a nylon mesh. It is therefore non weight bearing. I have the UVA/B resting on there but i don't want to risk anything else.
Ok,
I've figured how to arrange the basking lamp and the UV Lamp.
UV lamp isn't actually touching the mesh, it's on some clips that stop it from touching but its resting on the mesh at the top, which is fine as it's light enough.
However, I'm having issues with thr basking lamp. I...
I don't yet have the chameleon, but I am going to get a yemen/veiled chameleon, I'd like to get all the temps / decor etc exactly right first before i do anything.
To answer the question about UV, i have the reptiglo 5.0 UVA/B light, which i am resting on the top of the mesh as it is quite...
I am trying to set up the lighting system for the exo terra flexarium, as the flexariums are technically non weight bearing (made from plastic and plastic like mesh), i can't put the lamp/s directly ontop of it.
The Equipment i have is :
-Ceramic Heat Emitter & Habistat Thermostat
-60...
The only problem with doing that is i leave the house at 445 in the morning to get to work for 730, then dont get back till about 4.30 / 5.
thats a 12hr day period with no moisture which is the problem.
I'm just looking at all the options before i decide on doing anything.
