My Beardie just started coming out of Brumation and today she woke up and came to the front of her tank. I saw one her eyes closed, slightly discolored. She's fully active, no other signs of injury or infection that I can tell. She's housed alone. She has a Repti 10, and basking light. Reptile carpet as substrate, and eats mostly supers. She is a pain to get to eat greens though I offer. Her food is supplemented with calcium and D3. I gave her a warm bath in a humid room as well as gently used a wet (warm) q-tip. The most I got for those efforts was a big poo but that was normal looking. She keeps rubbing it but I don't know what to do to help her.

Hello,

The Reptisun 10 is a tube bulb, correct?
What type of substrate are you using now?
What is the humidity in the tank? It should not be any higher than 30-40% really, to avoid a respiratory issue.
She just came out of brumation, so it is possible she may have a minor eye irritation from being in brumation or a respiratory issue. Has she exhibited any breathing trouble?

Yes, tube, substrate rep. carpet, humidity is 33% and not that I've seen. A lot of beard puffing but that's normal when she starts waking up from Brumation.

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. 😔
