So we've had our baby veiled chameleon for a little over a week now and so far he's been doing seemingly well! However, for the past couple of days he has been frequently closing his right eye. The eye doesn't appear to be irritated or inflamed at all and he opens it back up when he feels us open his cage to feed him or when he wants to move around, etc. So I know he is capable of opening it. He just chooses not to for a few minutes and then opens it back up and leaves it open for a while.
Today, however, after spraying his cage, he started rubbing the same eye on branches and leaves and has been closing it a little bit more than usual. He hasn't had any problems with the eye today until about 15 minutes ago.
I do also notice that he mostly does these things after we spray. Noticing that, we've been making an extra effort to make sure we avoid any possibility of getting water in his eye. But he is still closing it after we do.
Could this mean infection?
Is the water just irritating his eye?
Is there any sort of "home remedy" I can do to make his eye more comfortable?
I've attached some photos! I'm really worried about him so any advice would be greatly appreciated!
