well if you know me well after you read this you know I am freaking out.

well my baby boy (my male veiled) has been having alot of problems in the past 2 months. He doesn't eat as much anymore, and he has had really crappy sheds for the past 3 months. he also is developing stuff like krusties over one of his eyes and i have to spray it every morning so he can see out of that eye. well this is really worrying me and if he gets to cold at night (my room drops to the low 60's because I am not allowed to use a portable heater anymore at night) and the fact that is has been so dry here in calgary for the pasy 4 months. any suggestions about what I can do.

doesn't sound good Laurier, but I do know that chams are amazingly resiliant against temperature changes, and are very seldom affected by them if gradual. I would think there is something else that you should be looking at instead of the temps. Anything on the plants? in the water? is he too dry (not enough misting)
Hope you figure this out. Eye goop is a sure sign of stress or infection.

it might have to be humidity. Because ever since our house went up for sale I have had to stop useing the humidifier as well because my dad was concerned about the paint bubbling from to much moisure. well I am going to give him a shower this weekend because I only have 1 shift for work and I have alot of time off. Since it has warmed up here I will take his plant out and spray it down just in case. Well I can't wait untill I move because I have3 alot more time to work with my pets.
