hey all. pretty concerned right now, as this issue has been going on for 1-2 days now.
heres the situation, basically my 3 year old beardie Jesse has had his left eye shut for a while now. it'll open a little bit throughout the day, and then close back up. his eye is shut both when he is basking and when he is not basking. i just moved, so the stress of the move might be a factor to take into consideration. his UVB light has been out for a week (i needed it delivered, i live in the middle of nowhere), and i just replaced that and this issue popped up. however, whenever i take him into the bathroom for a bath or pick him up for some quality time, his eye is normal. the same eye also looks a little sunken in, however he is not dehydrated because i did the skin test and it was normal.
i use carpet as my substrate, so its not sand or anything getting into his eye. i also dont see any parasites or anything around his eye. i give him collard greens for vegetables and crickets with calcium powder on them for his food. he is well fed, but not fat or anything. it looks like he's about to start shedding as his arms have gotten lighter as well. any input is appreciated, and im sorry if i posted this to the wrong board. im just a little worried for jesse
thanks everyone for any help
heres the regular eye (with the arm that might be sheddding?)
