Get rid of the swirly blubs, they are not good. Get a reptisun 5.0

Zoo-Med Reptisun 5.0 can be found here. I thought you'd appreciate Big Apple Herp as they are NYC.

We really need you to fill out the "How to ask for help" form if you want to troubleshoot your problem.

Wow I stepped away for a few minutes. As Norton and others stated ditch the compact flourescent bulbs asap. They have been known to cause eye issues with chams. Buy a strip flourescent fixture and a repti glo 5.0 bulb. If you want more light for plants just buy a 6500K flourescent bulb for the plants and add another fixture. On my small cages I use one bulb for uvb and an incandescent household bulb for basking. On my large cages I use one uvb bulb and one plant bulb in addition to the basking light. If you make those changes and dont see any improvement within a day or two take him to the vet asap.
