I just read a post of yours, and you mentioned that when your chameleon was under its MVB its eyes bulged of some sort? can you explain to me what it looked like? I dont have my chameleon under a MVB, but I have it under a reptiglo 8.0 2 100 watt basking lights. And I noticed his eyes (not the black pupil but the skin around it) were bulged a bit and always brown around where it connects to the socket/ head area if you know what I mean.

all chameleons do this from time to time in order to clean their eyes. It is very weird looking, huh? My concern with Luna was that she seemed to be doing it excessively. She typically does it when she is under her dripper and then rubs them on a branch but only sometimes. I do not know for sure if the intense UVB had anything to do with it or not but didn't want to risk it.

If your cham just does it from time to time I would not worry about it.
