Well, My new chameleon, Python, just arrived this morning and he seems to be doing well. We had everything already set up for him when he arrived and he has been checking out his cage and already eaten 4 crickets! I did notice some strange behavior though, and I would like some feedback as I have never owned a chameleon before and I don't know what this means.
What I have seen him doing a few times is rolling his eye back, then a ball-like bulge comes to the front of his eye socket, he moves it around, then he flips his eye back to normal. Is he just cleaning his eyes, or could he possible have an infection or something stuck in his eye? He is very alert though and is constantly moving both his eyes around. I attached a picture that is with his eye rolled back, but I wasn't able to get a picture when he had the bulge out. Thanks for your help! I love my new chameleon!
