Chameleon Info:
Cage Info:
Current Problem - So, I paid in full for a male panther chameleon from a shop. I told them I would pick him up in a month as I wanted to ensure the enclosure was okay before I brought him home. Well I picked the chameleon up on June 23rd. It wasn't until I got the chameleon home that I noticed it was always keeping it's right eye shut. This is my first chameleon so I was not 100% sure but it looked like a female to me. I have had many people from facebook groups tell me she is in fact a she. When I was there a month prior there was the male I bought and a female who had what the employee called a burst blood vessel in her eye and it was due to the humidity being too low. Right now I am worried about her eye as she can open it if i make a noise on her right side and she can't see me with her left (good) eye. She is active and has a strong grip (i only held her once which was when I was putting her in her enclosure). She eats and drinks just fine. I have seen her rubbing her right (bad) eye on branches and on the screen of the enclosure. So to me it seems like something is really bothering her and I was her to be as happy and healthy as possible. I had added some background info (as much as I know as I got her 3 days ago).
