Chameleon Info:
Cage Info:
Current Problem - Hi guys! So I have a female veiled chameleon (who i just got about a week ago). About two days ago i’ve noticed her eyes are getting huge and bulging. I have attached photos for y’all to see. What should I do? I’ve been told I can put all natural eye solution in her eyes.. which I am planning to do, but wanted y’alls input too!
Note: We did have an actual tree in her cage that we got from walmart. and that is when her eyes started looking like this... we took the tree out incase that had something to do with it.
- Your Chameleon - Veiled Chameleon, female, We weren’t told the age of her but we think around 3-4 months. We have had her for a week.
- Handling - We handle her about every other day
- Feeding - We have been feeding her medium size crickets. We normally give her 4 each feeding. She eats at 8am and 5-6pm. We gut load the crickets with Fluckers Cricket Quencher (Calcium Fortified)
- Supplements - We only use Repti Calcium by Zoo Med to dust the crickets and we dust them every other feeding.
- Watering - We have a Monsoon Mister. It goes off every 2 hours for 20 seconds. I have not seen her drink.
- Fecal Description - Yellow about once a day. She has not been tested for parasites.
- History - We got her from petco... someone did own her before us and had taken her back but they did not mention any problems she had.
Cage Info:
- Cage Type - We have a reptibreeze mesh screen cage. size medium (16 x 16 x 30)
- Lighting - Zoo Med. mini combo deep done lamp fixture. with 13 W Reptisun 5.0 UVB mini compact fluorescent lamp. and a 60W daylight blue lamp (both of those are Zoo Med brand)
- Temperature - The temperatures the basking spot is normal 80-90 and I am not sure the cage floor temp. Over night it will drop to 70-75. I have a Zoo Med thermometer.
- Humidity - The humidity level is around 40-50. I’m actually not 100% sure how to maintain this but it has not changed since we put it up. To measure it we use a Great Choice hygrometer.
- Plants - We have sticks and fake leaves in there. We did have an actual plant in there but we took it out.
- Placement - The cage is located in a window. It is located near an air vent. The top of the cage is about 5-6 feet off the ground.
- Location - Waco, Texas
