1 Eye Closed…never had an issue before.

[SamanthaElle]

Hello! I havent been on here for awhile.

So…I know you want the husbandry form….but Im finishing up work and crazy busy and trying to take care of my cham.

I wish I could.

My panther is about 7 months old. He has had the same set up since I got him. Always very active. Same lights. Healthy….nothing ever wrong with him.

So last night I noticed he had one eye closed. He kept trying to clean it. He should have shed recently or will be sheding ( I have been doing many day trips for work and so I havent been able to witness him shedding). I see a little bit of shed on his eyelid right by the eye (its very very small amount).

I have already started doing to saline solution in his eye.

I also have a veiled cham under the exact same care..no issues with him.

The are both getting daily supplimentation with rapashy calcium plus and crickets are being gutloaded with repashy superload.


So from experience, what do you all think it could be?

You say you have the same lights. Have you changed the bulb? This board recommends changing bulbs every 6 months. There is a marked drop of in UVB production as the bulb ages. If you haven't bought a new bulb, give that a try. It couldn't hurt and it might help.

veileds and panthers are not alike. Basic care is alike but diet is not. Do you want a bunch of guessing or do you want constructive advice from listed care?

I'm having the same issue.. Only with one of my babies. Very alert, but often keeps one eye closed. Something in his eye?? I saw him scrubbing his eye on a vine...
Worried !!
