Lights what are you using for a UVB ? Brand and bulb and the basking bulb is it a bright basking bulb or off colored like yellowish ?
I am using a t5 fluorescent uvb fixture with a kind of I guess yellow? Its a repti basking spot lamp 100 watts,
in the other forum, I posted a picture of her lights and set up you c an see the color there, I dont think its colored but? Also I can't figure out where to upload pictures, this is confusing. I have a bunch of photos to show and imgur doesnt allow me to upload more than one apparently.

Bugger imgur, upload the images one at a time to POSTIMAGE , save the file created in notepad , and then drop the codes in you post , select and click Img tab
code will look like

here, it kind of shows the process of how I caught it. It's usually back to normal fast
also during means when it first began
It looks white you want a white no off colored or yellowish ---- is the bulb a coil basking bulb or a solid bulb ?

All in order and in the process of it, during means when it began, sorry. It wasn't as intense as it usually gets but thats how it it's been. Doesn't ever last long. She'll scratch it and then it'll go away, sometimes won't scratch and it just goes away too, always a minute or less.

That is weird -- its like shes having a allergic reaction -- and its only under her lights when this happens? If so its got to be the lighting --- have you tried swapping out the basking light for a different brand?

Ok I thought I had read only under lights- I think I would try a different bright white basking bulb no coil bulb a solid like exo terra intense just to rule that out

Nope that is fine --- ok so I am stumped ---- coil look like its swively --- some others on here are gonna haft to way in on this ---- your lighting is probably NOT the culprit but needed to be ruled out for sure

Well, keep in mind I used a coiled uvb for most of her life until two months ago. It could be eye damage from that time?

That is quite possible- and if so its even more convincing for me that they are bad - I have never been a fan of the coiled bulbs in the first place just because of all the things I have seen on this board a lone from them :(

It's why I think it's eye damage from all that time, but who am I to say it is? The vet's I've talked to all say that since we did bloodwork and they examined her, talked it all out with other vet's and specialists that they contacted, that if it was a heart or renal, or an aneurism it should've showed up on the blood tests or we would have seen other things. Just weird, I don't know what it could be, like today she hasn't had her eyes swell up once and shes chilling on her hammock right now.

I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.

i feel so sad reading your about me 😢
Clapton is acclimating okay I think. He's quick as lightning so I'm not sure how much I should bring him out of his house yet. He's not at all interested in his salad though. I wonder if I should change what I'm giving him. Least he's eating his crickets.

Things to do:
Buy calcium powder
Material to raise surface for basking spot
Scenery decals for back of tank
