Do you see something wrong with his eyes?

[ColorCham427]

Hey all, just curious about my little guy Steel... he's been very lazy. Not too long ago, I tried breeding him. He got scared, hid, and turned into complete darkness in color... It seems to me, that he hasn't been quite the same since... about a month ago. I began cutting back his supplements because of his age. Just curious to hear other people's experiences with this sorta thing... what else can cause this? I'm going to get him de-wormed. His last de-worming has been about 7 months now.

His eyes look good to me. Not sunken and clear.

What are you seeing in his eyes that make you think there is a problem?

What do you mean by lazy? Is he sleeping during the day? Panther Chams are not very active and may even decrease in activity as they get older.

He moves around once a day, for about 3 min. Then gets into sleeping position, only his eyes remain open... He just hasn't been the same since I tried pairing him up with one of my females... I was just showing pics of his eyes, to hear if anybody sees anything wrong. I certainly don't.

thanks,
Brian

He also tends to rest on his body. When I took him out earlier today, he still rested on his body, and almost fell off my hand... I'm going to have him checked out 2moro at the vet. MB he needs more calcium, but I've been giving him what he should get. idk

The vet is the best idea. It could be a parasite that has him down or like you said lack of some kind of nutrient.

Let me know what the vet says. You are doing the right thing and getting him to the vet right away. No reason to waste time.

yeah i would get him checked asap.. if you paired him up with a female he might have contracted something from her..
