OK, will try moving lights further away for couple of days see how he does. If no joy the vet trip will be around boxing day (if they're open). One of the main reasons for this is because of the eye closing, i haven't seen him eat a thing. Obviously he can't see his food. I've tried hand...

Here's a another pic and the enlcosure pic shows how far away lights are to basking spot. (40watt incandescent house bulb and Reptisun 5.0). I took him out and let him roam around on a table and he was alot more lively and showing some terrific colours but he would crawl up to the edge of the...

His basking spot is about several inches away from the uvb. And about the parasites, he seemed fine in the shop :confused: I handled him earlier, he was really lively and started to climb up my arm towards my head ,but, with his eyes shut. I just hope it isn't blindness. Shouldn't be with a...

Hi all, It's been a couple of days now since i updated on the little guy and well he's seems to be brighter in colour but still has the persistant left eye closed and to be honest, sits there with both eyes shut most of the time. Can it really be parasites? I only traveled from the shop...

Thanks for the advice carol, and about the left eye thing, it wouldn't be different types to Uvb bulbs causing this would it? Only in the store they use the Reptiglo 5.0 but in my enclosure, i have opted for the Reptisun 5.0 because i was told these were a bit more reliable?

He looked ok in the shop, unless it's combined stress due to shedding and getting used to a new enclosure??? But would that explain the dark colours? Help!

Will bare this in mind for future reference thanks. I'm really stressed at the moment because i can't figure out what's wrong with the little guy :(

Here are a couple of pics, sorry for the poor quality. Seems to have eyes shut alot, as carol said, i don't seem to be doing much wrong which is why i'm a bit worried. It's only his second day in the enclosure and he's still not eating??

Thanks for the reply! I turned the lights on this morning, been on for about an hour and a half now and it still doesn't seem perky. Keeps hiding with eyes shut. I thought it would run to the basking spot but no. Help, i don't know what to do :(

Kinyonga, please refer to the 'Am i doing things right' thread in Health clinic for info :) Many thanks

Just got my very first cham today, he/she is a little veiled. Please bare in mind i will not be able to answer all questions below. Chameleon Info: Your Chameleon - Veiled, estimate 2-3 months old :confused: , not sure about sex, not sure if i can see spurs or not (pics soon!)...

Hi all, i have just picked up my first chameleon, a little veiled. He/she has been in the enclosure for just over an hour and i've already seen it drink :D. The problem is, it seems to be trying to go to sleep :confused: Is this normal for a cham in a new enclosure? Also seems a bit dark in...

Using a 16x16x30 Reptibreeze. I don't have the cham yet, hopefully picking the little guy up at the weekend (veiled). Just trying to get my enclosure right by asking you guys before i bring him home :) I have just moved my ambient thermometer and now getting temperatures of about 68F. The...

Hi all, at the moment my room temps are struggling to reach any higher than 60-64F. I presume this is far too low and would appreciate advice on keeping my temps up. Many thanks Edit: I have a 60w zoo med basking spot bulb in a deep dome fixture about 10 inches from the basking spot perch...

Just ordered some calcium plus, will feed 3/4 days a week and plain calcium on alternate days. With this and a decent gutload hopefully i should be ok.

For gutload sandra, most likely a mix of greens, carrots, apples, oranges, squash etc will be fed to locusts. Cham probably will not see much natural light (typical british weather).

Was thinking about getting this myself but wasn't sure about feeding it daily. Would calcium plus 3/4 days a week be ok and a plain calcium w/o d3 for the other days?

Hey guys, after some fairly heavy reading about supplements and vitamins/minerals etc.. I have noticed a popular brand seems to be RepCal. Unfortunately, i haven't come across anywhere here in the UK that sell it ( correct me if i'm wrong). Was just wondering if anyone could recommend any...

Thanks for the info guys, will probably go for one of those then. Was originally looking for a canopy type built in system but could only find dual ones, i.e Exo terra dual top and don't really need that to be honest. I was torn between that Exo terra light unit or the Arcadia vivarium...

Can anyone recommend a decent, reliable one i can get in the UK? Certain things seem harder to get hold of over here
