I apologise for the quality, it is taken through the screen as his eye would open if I got too close.... but this is frequent, he would bask with one eye closed and the other open...sometimes with both closed.
I understand its not a good sign, but I really can't put a finger on the issue and...
Thanks for putting the time an effort into this reply, its very much appreciated!
Regarding the basking temp and the night time temp, it was the vet that suggested it should be higher for both, before basking was maybe 29ish, with ambient around 25 and night-time between 19 and 22. So I have...
No not really, he used to scratch it religiously, but no longer does this. However he does have them closed a lot.... He still feeds fine, drinks fine, but unfortunately where I am in the U.K, its 30 miles to the closest reptile vet (the one I used) and after that it could be 50+ miles away.
I...
He certainly does have spurs, must be a male. Just worried about his size, whether he's underweight, to pale etc.
Does he look like a good weight, tried to weigh him in the past but it was very difficult (and inconclusive) and don't want to put him through that again.
He definitely does have tarsal spurs, but I read that isn't necessarily conclusive! However, if he is male, that's a relief...

To keep it relatively short, I bought Jerry from a local reptile store in August, when he would have been no older than 2 months old. The shop assured me he was a male, as I was not in the market for a female, due to it being my first Cham, and I understand husbandry for a female is slightly...
That looks really neat! A little too complicated I think for me though... although I'd love to do it. Did you use any videos to help you along the way? (Basically i'm asking if there is anywhere I can find help on doing something like this...)😂
Would it be possible to see a picture of your set up? For ideas as to the branches and live plants? I'm unsure as to how I'd determine plants that are safe and those that are not? Any advice with this? Thanks!
Hi.
Thanks for the information, he basks about 6 to 7 inches below both the basking light and the UVB, so if this is the case I shall buy the linear light. Can I ask why this is stronger than the regular compact? I was under the impression that strong UVB can be harmful for chameleons, so if...
Thank you, anything is appreciated!
I use repti-calcium to dust couple of crickets a week, and dust with reptivite a couple of insects a fortnight, although its very hard to tell how much he's getting as a lot of the time the dust seems to slide straight off the crickets... He's a bit of a...
Hi everyone,
This is my first post here, so if I miss something I apologise.
I have a Yemen who is around 8 months old and whose eye hasn't been right for a few days. I noticed him scratching his eye on his vines not so long ago but didn't think much of it. A couple of days ago I saw him...
