 Eye Infection?

I noticed that my chameleon has a yellowish scab or film over his eye. He cant see out of it. Hes currently shedding around his eyes so i was thinking it could just be skin and if i can peel it off so he can see. Please let me know. Thanks.

Also, i was at Petsmart yesterday and saw a Fogger. Does anyone know if they work? Thank you again

DONT peel it off!

their eyes can be very sensitive..

a vet visit should be the first thing on your mind right now..

It could be skin from his turret, but as already stressed, don’t peel it. Increase the humidity in his cage to aid in shedding. Give him a shower if you have a suitable plant he can be placed on. Increase your misting sessions.

You can probably get an inexpensive cool-air humidifier from Walmart, Kmart, Lowes, Home Depot, cheaper than a fogger from Petsmart.

Thanks for you answers :) His eye is fine. Hooray. About this humidifier thing though, i have a snake in the room as well as the chameleon and shes very sensitive to humidity, because it could cause respiratory problems. Would this humidifier affect her since my chameleons tank is a mesh cage and the humidity will probably fill my room?
