Chameleon Info:
Your Chameleon - Veiled, Female, I'm guessing about 6-7 months old,I've had her since Christmas last year
Handling - Not very often, she's very independent
Feeding - I feed her about 6 crickets a day, about 2 hours after she's awake. I feed the crickets Flucker's High-Calcium Cricket Diet.
Supplements - I dust her crickets with Flucker's Calcium with Vitamin D3. I dust them every two weeks.
Watering - I see Rhett drink everyday. I have a dripper and I mist every hour for about 5 minutes.
Fecal Description - Brown and white, although recently it was yellow due to dehydration, so I gave her a light shower and all went back to normal. She has not been tested.
Cage Info:
Cage Type - Around 2 1/2 feet x 2 1/2 feet x 2 1/2 feet. Wood body with screen door, walls, and ceiling.
Lighting - I don't know the brand but I have a UVB light and basking light. I leave them on 12 hours and turn them off 12 hours when she sleeps.
Temperature - She has a perch by her basking light where she lays to bask. Her basking temps are usually 85 and her lowest temps towards the ground are usually 70.
Humidity - Humidity is usually at an 85 as well.
Plants - Fake plants
Placement - Her cage is in a corner of my room where it's quite quiet with minimum movement or busy-ness.
Location -Washington State
My Female Veiled Chameleon Rhett has had a swollen eye for the past two days. I've done some research and read that sometimes Chams dislocate their eyes for cleaning purposes? I also read that it might be a vitamin A deficiency. It looks extremely bulged out and swollen. I've noticed she's been very moody/grumpy the past few days before her eye started to swell. I also noticed last night her swollen eye didn't close all the way while she was sleeping. She ate this morning so I don't think it has been affecting her eye-site too much but I know she can't look forward with her swollen eye. I'm very worried!! Any help or knowledge would be very much appreciated!
