Considering how beardies are with their eyes, and the regular bulging or sinking they do with them, it's rather hard to tell. Numerous times I've looked at his eye and it looked like the swelling had gone down, but I guess he was just "sucking it in", and hiding the swelling, to which I would...

So what you're saying is the honey may not be as effective due to the source of its nectar? Makes sense. Hopefully the honey I have (it is how you described, I didn't describe it very well) will work ok at a higher potency. It should be 2 or 3 parts water per honey now, so I'll try that. If it's...

Yeah, I wasn't certain about the lasting effects, just speculating. The honey is made locally, raw and unpasteurized. Only thing I'm curious about is the orange on the label, which suggests to me they added something to give citrusy taste or something, but that's just a guess. It's the best...

He still doesn't seem to be getting any better. The swelling doesn't seem to have gone down at all, at least not for awhile. He still scratches at it, and occasionally opens it. I've been getting at least one drop in his eye per day that I've tried; I leave him alone when he's sleeping, which he...

I think I'm just gonna have to take my time with it. The more I try getting him to open his eye, the less he does it, it seems. He won't even do it when tilting him. I'm sure it'll heal eventually, just not as soon as I'd like.

Still eating normal; picky with veggies, but still eats some, and loves his roaches. I'll keep trying to get the solution in his eye.

Sorry for the delay, it took me awhile to find where to upload images again. Here's his eye now: I forgot to mention earlier that he really doesn't like me doing anything to get him to open his eye. If I use my thumb or a paper towel or anything to open his eye, he gets really uncomfortable...

It's his bedtime now, so I'll take a picture tomorrow. I gave him a bath today and his eye looks really good besides the swelling. I do manage to get some in his eye once a day or two; it usually depends on him opening his eye and the syringe launching the juice into his eye, because the honey...

So it's been awhile now, but other than his coloration returning to normal, the swelling still has not gone down all the way. I don't know if it's gone down at all, even. I've gotten some on his eye a few times or so, but mostly I can only get his outer eyelid. I even get thorough coverage of...

His appetite and activity hasn't changed. He still eats minimal veggies and goes crazy over roaches, and he's mostly been lying around.

The honey is definitely working. The lid still looks swollen and he still likes to keep it shut, but it's definitely seems to be killing the infection. He does freak out a bit and scratch when the solution runs down his face, but seems to like the taste. He's made it really hard to get any...

So for the ReptiSun 10.0 T5HO, is a 12" tube not suitable if it's going to sit on top?

Here's some better photos of his eye. I took out a 45X magnifying lense and took a closer look. I couldn't tell if I was seeing any sand grains left on his lid, but the coloration definitely doesn't look normal, and it wasn't there 3-4 weeks ago. I gave him an application of honey-water. He...
