I noticed today that Gobi's lower eyelids are kind of droopy. Kind of like a basset hounds lower lids droop.

Anyone ever seen this, or know if it's something of concern?

Sorry i don't know much because my dragon is about the same age as yours and he's my first, but could he be going in to a shed? Last time mine shed, the few days before he looked and acted really weird and i wasn't sure what was happening, but as soon as he started to shed he looked normal again.

Just a thought.
 
And he didn't eat very good either before the shed.

Maybe someone here can take a look at your lighting setup to see if that can be an issue?

This isn't my dragon, but it looks just like this, in both eyes. I did a search, but didn't find anything that sounded like a conclusion.

Well, glad to hear others have seen the same thing. It just seemed weird to me. I didn't realize beardies could get droopy hound dog eyelids.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
