Re: My Lizard Cham. She Won't Open Her Left Eye

Could just be injured or an eye infection. What are your setup specs(temps, humidity etc...)
sounds like she needs a vet visit asap!. bump up the temps a litle bit to help aid in her getting better. I fpossible post a clear pic of the eye, would help, but with chams a speedy vet visit is prob the best! Good luck, sounds like she has a great owner...oh and Welcome to HC! Hope we can help

I second the advice to go to the vet. and a reptile vet at that... if you don't already have one in mind try ARAV or Herp Vet Connection

What are you feeding it? I've heard that crickets will chew on their eyes if you put too many of them in it's enclosure. I feed 10 small at a time for an adult Cham.
