closing one eye

[dale14]

I don't know why but every time I look at my little dragon he always has one eye closed. He can still open both his eyes at the same time but every time i see or hold him he is always closing one eye. is there anything wrong with him or is he just trying to focus on something by closing the other eye?

What uvb are you using? If you are using one of the coil or compact uvb's, that causes this problem. Is his appetite decreasing any? That is another symptom of using a coil or compact uvb. Any coil or compact is bad to use. The best fluorescent uvb to use is the reptisun 10 tube.

Yes, this. This was one of several symptoms we encountered in our dragon when using a compact UVB bulb. When we changed to a ReptiSun tube, the eye issue cleared up, along with other symptoms (low appetite, sleepiness, etc). To add, there are also some tube UVBs out there that have been associated with eye symptoms as well (ReptiGlo 10.0), and currently even one of the MVBs: the Zoo Med PowerSun. *sigh*

The best,
