i got my veiled chameleon last week and its still very young.. she's only 3 inches from head to tail, tho i had some trouble trying to feed her, but i managed to get her to eat a meal worm and a pinhead cricket which i caught. now the problem is her eyes. it seems watery most of the time, sometimes she acts as tho she is blind. she wont move her eyes to look around or anything and most of the time, her eyes look like shown in the picture below.. what is wrong with her ?

i'm really worried..

That doesn't look good. Has she been drinking? How are you offering water to her? What temperature are you keeping her at also?

Has she been walking kind of jaggedly like she's off balance? Another thing that's pretty common is mouth gaping. Does she leave her mouth open for extended periods of time?

I'm really sorry she's giving you a fright.

i dont really see her drinking, i mist the leaves and the walls of the enclosures.. but never seen her drink before. no off balance signs, only her eyes.. everythin seems fine, colors also ok except she dont seem to look at me when i stick my head in front of the tank .. hope she's okay... a friend told me its eye infection..

I thought they couldnt see water if it was sprayed in and left, I thought you had to have it dripping constantly :?
I'm probably wrong though, chameleons are way out of my league.
