I noticed today that my veiled chameleon's eyes look a little different than their usual selves. I'm not sure whether there's an extra bulge here, or his eyes are less bulgey than the usual, it's hard to tell. Other than this, he is acting normally, though I know they are one of those animals that will hide illness. I thought I'd post to ask if you guys think I should be getting a vet appointment or first get some repta-aid/pedialyte.

Your Chameleon - approx. 1 year 4month, veiled male, been in my care for one year
Handling - only if he is not stressed by my presence, when cleaning and sometimes every few days
Feeding - he usually gets 12 crickets or five superworms every other day, am now giving three or four hornworms and will use supers less often, will start trying calciworms (he was scared of them as a baby), gutload is usually kale/dandelion greens (just learned that kale may be high in oxalates so I will use less often), raspberries, blueberries, zucchini, squash, spirulina algae, sometimes a small amount of apple
Supplements - calcium w/o D3 most feedings(ZooMed Repti Calcium phos.free), calcium w/D3 once every other week(Flukers phos.free), multivitamin once every other week(Rep-Cal Herptivite with beta carotene)
Watering - small dripper filled twice a day, misted using pressure sprayer for around two minutes two or three times a day depending on humidity, used to see drinking more often

History - he has had no other major problems
