Ellen,



Thanks so much for helping me out with some advise

It gives me hope that it's possibly something as petty as a little debre or whatnot that could of got into his eye. I was worried it could be much more serious then that. This morning I woke up to mist his cage and seen his right eye that was shut these past couple days open a little. Of course it's closed back up again. The day I noticed his eye was shut was the day I took him out to hold him, and yes he also tried to rub his eye on my hand :P



I been worried about sticking crickets into my lizards cages. Just because I've had bad experiences with them before. I lost a baby bearded dragon because of that. I had put at least a dozen pin headed crickets into my bearded dragons cage, and the next morning I awoke and checked out my lizards and seen the crickets devoured 1 of my dragons. I was so hurt. I had no idea crickets would eat lizards! Since that, I am very cautious about putting crickets into my lizards cage. I think for my chameleon, I would have to put very few in there and watch him over carefully. But yes, he needs a variety of food. I have some silkworms coming in.



The Visine thing, I dunno heh. I would agree with you on that. Doesn't seem safe to put something like that into a reptiles eye. Reptiles are so sensitive. I will soak him in some warm water today and kinda put some water onto his shut eye so he can get some type of moisture in there. I think that would work safer then the visine.



I really appreciate your help It's great to have people online to share thier experiences and expertise on reptiles. Your help is very appreciated! Thanks again Ellen for your time and efforts :D
