Looks more and more like you are right, his eyesight is impaired or he is blind.
He never leaves the heater b/c he can follow it up to his perch. He does not react to me being there, and he would always look at me and move if i got too close. if I tap on the glass, he reacts to that.
The one change in recent days is that i realized he was not moving his eyes at all, and now he is moving them around.
He has bug eyes, so they move around all over the place typically. That movement has returned. He also is - maybe based on smell only? - reacting to food.
I would say his eyes look similar to what they were before - they were always chameleon like - but it is certainly possible that they are larger.
If that's all the case, any idea on prognosis? Any treatments that are low impact (like possibility of popeye so add some epsom salts?)
Thanks again for all of your input, it is extremely helpful.
