I have a 6 month old Veiled Cham who resides in a fairly large and densely planted screen enclosure. I am using a Zilla (tropical 25) 15w lamp with UVB. As of right now I am not using any type of heat source because it is fairly warm in my house. His temp. Gauges during the day stay pretty constant around 78-80 degress and do not drop below 60 at night. I mist him and his entire enclosure three or more times a day to be sure his humidity gauges always read above 70 but almost never drop that low. Mainly 80-90%. He is a regurlar eater I suppose consuming 2-5 properly dusted small crickets ( rep-cal phosphorus free calcium w/ vit.d) with his daily meal and rep-cal herptivite maybe every other day when I remember. But lately he has been keeping his right eye closed and not opening it for any reason. I do not see any sort of obstruction on the lid and it does not look swollen. He has been pressing it and scraping it on the vines and branches in his enclosure so hard in fact I have to turn away because it looks very painful almost to the point of "popping" his eye. I have tried to rinse it 3 times in the sink with a very slow and warm stream of water and like I said I mist him and his enclosure 3+ times a day. Any one seen this or could shed some light on what might be going on with my little guy?
