Baby Veiled Chameleons

[YnYChams]

I had 5 eggs hatch yesterday and I noticed that on one of them his eyes are not opening. Could this be a birth defect? Will they open on there own? All the others have already eaten their first meal (FF) but this one can't see and walks blind around the tank for a short period of time and then he just goes to sleep under the lamp. Any thoughts???

Its possible its a defect, or hes sickly.

Have you tried to mist him and see if he can open his eyes?

Any chance you van get a pic o fhim>

I got a photo of him. He is my most spunky when he is moving and seems to be healthy. I don't see any discharge from his eyes. and I can see that he has the openings but he doesn't open them. As soon as I figure out how to post a picture I will get it up. Thanks for your quick reply.

try misting him heavily and see what happens.

what lights are you using>
