Im having issue with my veiled chameleon. Lately his eyes has been bit swollen but i thought its nothing too critical since theyve gone always back to normal after a while. Today i freaked out when i came back to home from buying crickets to him. I went to feed Carlos and then i saw his eyes bigger than ever. Now even hes sleeping the eyes didnt get back to normal. Still they remain the same and its been about 5 hours he went to sleep
Im handling him quite often cause he wants to get outside from his terra to get a walk and hang around on our plants. He has ficus benjamina, Epipremnum pinnatum and Monstera deliciosa in his terrarium (real plants). The plants outside his terra are mostly the same + Pachira aquatica. I think non of these plants are bad for my veiled cham?
Im feeding Carlos with crickets, mealworms and sometimes im giving him salad, orange and paprika. And yes i wash them b4.
Im moisting his terra with pump bottle, about 10 seconds at time 3-5 times a day (depends on how dry the terra gets during the day.) Hes drinking quite often. He has not water dripper or any other container.
Humidity is usually around 50-60 %, at night time it gets to 70 %, temperature at daytime is 27 to 29 C (80-84 F) and at night time its always 27 C/80 F.
He has glass cage with air ventilation screens at top of the cage.
Width: 80cm
Height: 70cm
Depth: 50cm
UVB: ReptiGLO 5.0 (at the moment im ordering reptisun 5.0 lamp, just to try out if it would work)
Heat: Zoo Med 50w infra lamp so if needed i can keep it on at nightime too, tho temperature at my apartment hasnt gone that low even during winter time, that i should keep it on over night.
He had coconut husk at bottom of his cage, but he ate it alot and was quite hard to keep clean so i decided to put sand at the bottom, i know i know u shouldnt put sand in your chameleons cage right? But sand he doesnt eat and still i can keep the cage moist so its ok?
Ive placed his cage high on my shelf about 1,5-1,6 meter high about 59 inches.
Im living in finland
If u know something more i dont know please help me.
Dont suggest me to bring him to vet, i know it already ok.
Tell me if im doing something wrong here.
Im thinking its about the uvb tube. What do you think?
Help help me worried of my pal
Ill post some pictures very soon!
