So my friend was taking okay care of a chameleon but then he moved out of state (we are from MN). SO i took over because i love animals and a girl that probably wouldnt even dare to touch it was going to take it anyways...
--hes not older than 1 year, veiled
-- nice handled often
----humidity was around 50 fixed it now 75
---had him for a month
----2x2x3high
----5.0 uv bulb
---- I dont know if this might hurt his eye but i had a normal 60 watt desk lamp to warm him(out of the cage) now i covered the bulb so only heat goes.
---- I do have occasionally annoying parekeets(which i love lol)
My veiled chameleon started having problems with his left eye. It just seemed weird. Then he/she (seems like she because not very colorful) stopped eating. I was feeding crickets, superworms and meal worms but for the last two weeks only giant mealworms. Covered about once a week with vit. powder.
His eyes are sinking a little bit. Left one looks like he has something in it and hes not moving it like he used to. Im very worried.
In the past 7 days i "forced" fed him 2 worms. He like to drink water directly out of my bottle sprayer only about every other day he isnt changing colors as often, not moving alot takes lots of naps.... i know this is all bad signs but i cant afford vet. I showered him a little bit but still napping not doing much.
I really liked him before this happened we loved coming out of his cage and being with me now he just sits there =[[
