Responding to email notices you receive.
**************************************************
In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.
Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."
Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

Addendum: 01/10/2026
=====================
Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Really, it could be a myriad of things from a cyst (I have a male Veiled with one), to stuck shed, clogged tear duct or even an injury/infection.....

on,
Good advice so far. I have had many chameleons develop eye pronblems which would fit your description, and with that experience to draw on, offer the following; You cannot hope it will go away, and certain problems can ony get worse, and be fatal. It sounds like a bacterial concern (not guaranteed), but any growth on the eye is best treated by a competent vet. The biggest difficulty we have faced here with growths on the eyelid were some pesky strains of E.Coli in the eye. There are certainly other less problematic, and easier to fix, possible causes. Most (but not all) of the E. Coli culprits had some resistance to Gentamicin, Baytril, etc., the most common eye and oral antibacterials, but use of them could help to keep the issue in check, depending upon the vet's recommendations. Like I said, some of the possible pathogens are very difficult to treat. You have Scott Stahl (SEAVS), and he's the best in the world, down there in Vienna, Va, and some other good chameleon vets in the Baltimore area (haven't lived there for a while, and my memory escapes me). Its an easy culture to do, and then decide on the best treatment. Probably set you back about $90-$130. To not get a vet involved is free, but is like Russian roulette played until the firing pin does hit a primer. Usually, doing nothing will result in the growth of the problem. Hope it works out.
