Dragon can't open his eyes.

[park se june]

Hello, I'm a Beardy Dragon owner in Korea. I came all the way here because I don't have much information in my country. I ask for your understanding even if my English is not perfect.

It's been about three months since I brought my Beardy Dragon from the shop. There has been a process of disliking me and getting angry, but there have been no health problems. However, I haven't opened my eyes during the day for about a month. From 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., the UVb light bulb is turned on and the environment of 28 to 32 degrees is constructed through ceramic. The size of the farm is about 90 centimeters wide and 60 centimeters long.

Why doesn't he open his eyes?
Even if you observe if there's a problem with eye disease, the surroundings are clean
I'm done breaking away.

I thought it was dehydration, so I've been watering it continuously.
They don't eat even if they spray water on their faces, so they make them eat wheatworms like throwing them into the water.

"Other than that, they also spray nutritional supplements related to the eyes and give me a warm bath once a week."

Strangely enough, he has no problem eating or defecating, but he never opens his eyes and hangs or lies in a warm place unless he is angry or hears noise.

The owner of the shop and acquaintances who raise Beardy Dragons say they don't know, and they say that there won't be any problem, but don't ordinary Beardy Dragons always keep their eyes open?

I haven't opened my eyes all day to say I'm sleeping.
I've been watching it all weekend.

Please help me. Beardy Dragon experts.
I was really desperate, so I came all the way here with the help of a translator.

Welcome --- I need the height of the tank - so I can get measurements to gallons for your tank size please --- we need to go over the lighting in the tank ---- I see you have a ceramic heat emitter -- that is used to keep tanks warm at night -- if your tank is falling below 65 F degrees then you need a heat emitter this is not to be used as a basking light - you dont want anything over 75 F at night -- you want 3 temps in the tank - so you will need 2 digital probe thermometers - one on the cool side of the tank 80's F during the day - middle of your tank 90's F and surface basking temp 105-110 F for a baby -- you need a solid bright white basking bulb looks like this Exo Terra® Intense Basking Spot Light | reptile Bulbs & Lamps | PetSmart any solid clear bright white bulb will work as long as it keeps temps to the basking temp I posted -- you dont want any colored or off white or yellowish bulbs -- Exo Terra® Intense Basking Spot Light | reptile Bulbs & Lamps | PetSmart

As far as the diet goes the dragon needs crickets - dubia roaches- BSFL black soldier fly larvea - silk worms as a staple insect feeder - he needs to be fed 3 times per day and the crickets / dubia roaches or silk worms need to be dusted ONE time per day w/ calcium D 3 5 x per week - vitamins w/ beta carotene dusted ONE time per day 2 x per week - he should be fed salads Nutrition Content
greens kale is a good staple feeder - offered every morning - try and get some BSFL and put those on top of his salads to lure him to the bowl - those are a good staple feeder and they are small so he will eat alot of them I would start out w/ medium size
please post back w/ more help if you need it or more questions

My breeding ground is about 50 cm high.
Also, the UVB is 26W and the ceramic is 100W.
The temperature in the breeding ground is controlled by an automatic temperature control device.
We keep the temperature between 80 and 85F in cold places and 90F in warm places. Of course, all of them are floor temperatures, and if you go up, the temperature goes up even more.

Additionally, I will show you the breeding ground environment I have created.
Please give me some advice for poor DRAGON.

Ok the brand for the 26 watt is what? If its a Reptisun its iffy - I am not a fan of coils and this is my guess the culprit for the eye issue - please get one of the long tube fixtures I posted -- you may haft to go to Amazon to get the basking bulb and UVB -- but you need both of those for the health of the dragon - your tank size is around a 40 gallon tank-- and the height is around 20 inches so you can use the T 5 but I am thinking its going to need to go inside the tank depending on the screen -- please get all the stuff sitting on top of the tank off --- your dragon needs ventilation and it looks like its completely covered up - do you have a screen ? please get the bulb I posted earlier and replace the UVB and get one of the UVB fixtures as soon as you can ----- 90 F is not warm enough for basking area - your baby needs 105-110 and please get the probe thermometers you need them to get surface basking temps - the top being covered is going to keep the heat in but you need ventilation for the dragon and as of now I see none

좋아, 26와트 힙플은? 그 렙티즌의 iffy 면은 '최고'의 훌쩍 훌쩍 훌쩍 넘어야 하는 것입니다. UVB -- 드래곤 드래곤의 건강을 위해 돈을 많이 벌고 있습니다 -- 40 갤런 -- 20 및 T 5를 지원합니다. 화면에 잘 나가고 있지 않고 --- 드래곤은 갬블링 인과 갬블러? 이전에 변경되었고, 추가 하나의 UVB를 추가했습니다. ------ 90F는 그러하지 않을 것입니다. 베이비는 105-110이 필요합니다

This is the product. However, it is difficult because it is written only in Korean that you cannot understand.

The brand name is Neuron Amazon.

It's a Korean brand.

Ok that link didnt work to the UVB but it is the issue for the dragons eyes --- please get rid of it -- and get what I posted - can you order off of Amazon.com? Or does the pet stores carry what I posted? If it is warm outside now where you are you can take him outside for good UVB - place him in a plastic tote do not leave him he must be supervised and NO glass containers -- temps can be 65F + for 15 minutes in direct sunlight will give him approx 4 hours of good UVB --- I would do this everyday till you get the proper UVB and basking bulb - the dragons eyes are only going to get worse w/ time w/ the Korean UVB your using --- you should get it shut off and use the sun for UVB -- and please get the top of the tank uncovered and off the floor --

The type of light you're using has been known to cause eye issues but as you are in Korea I have no idea what types of lights are available to you. If you are able to find a long linear uvb bulb it might be a good idea to switch. Until then have you tried changing the bulb in case there is something wrong with that particular bulb?

Also does it look like there could be something in the eyes? Like little particles from the substrate?

 

[Hazel_Basil10]

Hello! He is so cute! It looks like his eyes are a little foggy in one of the pictures. You can go to a reptile vet to see if he needs a prescription or not

 

[Hazel_Basil10]

Bcuz it is better to be safe than sorry

It is the most commonly used light bulb in Korea. More than 90 percent of stores and individuals use these light bulbs. Through this site, I found that people abroad use long linear light bulbs. This may be because Korea does not have a high knowledge of reptiles yet or because the climate is different. Maybe it's about knowledge.

Perhaps that's why I'm looking through overseas sites because I can't buy long bulbs for reptiles in Korea.

However, this is really difficult because the electrical standards used are different.

I can't see any foreign substances in or around the dragon's eyes.

The advice from the people around me also said that it does not seem to be eye disease and that it may be another external factor.

I'm just thinking about going to a vet.

One of my predictions is that dragons really hate me.

Can such stress be the cause?

Improper lighting caused stress along w/ improper temps -- relocation stress - once the lighting is corrected and basking temps he should do good along w/ good diet

 

[Drache613]

Hello,

Your little one is super cute, how is he doing today? Are you using any sterile saline solution or raw honey in his eye
to help out?
Sorry that I am asking another lighting question, which UVB brand is your light? You have a compact/coil currently?
If you can possibly get a long tube bulb that would help a lot. Are you able to get him outdoors in the sun for parts of
the year?
Be sure you are also using a bright white basking light for warmth & brightness.
Let us know how he is doing.
