closed eyes

[Catcha]

My chameleon catcha has recently started closing his eyes randomly for short periods of time during the day.


is this normal ? or should I plan a visit to the vets just incase ?

any help would be appriciated thank you

for seconds at a time, or several minutes at a time?

what type of lighting do you use?

How do you gutload and supplement?

How old is the chameleon?

You might like to provide answers to the "how to ask for help" questionaire sticky. This could help us speculate on possible reasons.

it's never for a minute, just a couple of seconds.
I use a 150 watt bulb as he has a huge viv to heat and I have UV bulb but can't quite remember what watt it is.

he gets all his bugs covered in calcium or nutrients before he is fed, one one day and the other the next

he's about 8 months old
