Hello,

I unexpectedly became a new owner of a small vieled chameleon. (Long story). I searched the net and read everything I could, as fast as I could..I now have him set up with a pothos, and an ivy plant, a heat lamp, a UVB lamp, a drip system for water, and have fed him small crickets dusted with calcium powder.

Everything sound okay?

Today is day four- and I noticed while "spying" on him that he had something on his eye-yesterday he was rubbing one eye on a vine. This looked to be something like shed skin, a scale, etc-so I used a moistened Qtip, and QUICKLY removed what was a very small, clearish yellow something-no bigger than a grain of sand.

Now he/she isnt opening that eye. Still eating and walking but that eye is closed except for a tiny tiny spot.



Should I wait or should I do something? I hate to bother the little thing, but if there is something I should do, I dont want it to get worse.



THANK YOU.
