*male veiled chameleon. Noticed he is rubbing one eye on branches in cage. he bulges it out and it is slightly discolored when he does that. i just bought him about two weeks ago. Other than that he is fine and seems like an average baby. Very active but tends to run away from and sort of handling, but once hes out of his cage he is fine. He often puffs out his neck and opens his mouth to hiss. I dont want to think he is having eye problems already so please give any advice, I'm open to anything you guys have to say and if i should be doing ANYTHING differently. Also I have terramycin I applied to his eye, around the area he bulges out. But this freaked me out becausehe wouldnt open his eye and was hissing alot, it did no harm but I dont know if i should apply again since he's so young. He opens both of his eyes and they look fine, but when he bulges it out i know it cant be good. Noticed this about a week ago and it is now happening more than the other days. so I'm just trying to solve this issue before it gets worse. Please read this and let me know if i should keep applying terramycin!- 14X14X16 screened enclosure
- About two months old

-UVB Swirl light fixture with a baskeing bulb, not sure what size but basking bulb is about7inches away from where he sits to bask
- The cage usually stays a little over 85 degrees.
-Humidy is between 50 and 60 (which is a little low but i spray tank with water and have a big dripper for the tank)
No problems with him eating or drinking water off leaves
- Havnt seen him eat any of the plant yet
-For vitamins i give him zoo-med calcium with no d3 on small crickets on a daily basis, and multivitamins and calcuim with d3 from rep call every other week dusted on small crickets

I agree, just really give him good mistings and hope it goes away in the next few days. If not you would be much better to consult a vet about any treatments.
