I have two vary young veiled chameleons that are having some health issues. One is about 4-5" and the other is probably 3-4" They were donated to me after someone took them from a pet store where they were obviously not being treated well.
At first their only obvious problems were dehydration, and they were skinny, due to the dehydration. I set them up with a 5.0 Zoo Med compact fluorescent Repti Sun. The room they are in is about 77-80 during the day and drops to around 73-75 at night. Originally they were doing fine in this climate, they were eating, pooping, drinking. Suddenly they developed strange spots all over their body, each spot is light in color, and seems to be roughly the size of a strawberry seed. They had had a 25w heat light on them when I first had them, because they were in a different room that was a bit cooler. As soon as I noticed the spots I removed the light because I was concerned they were getting burned. Since they developed these spots they have eaten very little, and are asleep most of the day. Today the larger one is moving around with his eyes open, but one of his eyes pulsates a bit, it will be swollen to the size of a small pea one second, and the next it is completely normal looking. They do move between being under their uv light, where the temp is 80-85 during the day, and the cooler areas of their cage. They are in a set up that I have used for veileds in the past and I have never had problems. If anyone has any ideas of what might be wrong with them I would really appreciate any input. Thanks.
