Hello all, and thanks for the help! I have had my beardie for about 3 years now so he means a lot ! I noticed this guck as it appears a couple of weeks ago then it went away, it since looks to of come back and it is in both his eyes. I really cannot tell if it is guck or skin it has a whiteish appearance. Just curious what I should do about this, can take more photos also! Cheers :)

Hello,

Can you review your tank setup with us such as your type & brand of UVB lighting, temperatures, the type of substrate you use.
It kind of looks like shedding possibly, is there any discharge from his eyes?
How is his appetite?
You could get some sterile saline solution to flush out his eyes daily, to see if that helps out for him, first.

Hi Tracie, I have a 120 gallon, built myself. I have arcadia 12%, 100-105 degrees,tiles . He is still eating, seems fairly normal hard to judge after a day or two. What exactly does discharge look like? I do not see anything. Basically this "shed as it looks like" Appeared on both sides of his eye and kind of stuck out. Today only 1 is still their the rest is gone.

Hello,

Great, you are using the Arcadia D3 12% tube bulb which is a very nice bulb so it shouldn't hurt his eyes at all. The basking light is a bright white light too? That is terrific, a 120 gallon tank is wonderful, he has plenty of space.
Discharge would be like what you would expect from an infection, or just basically watery eyes. It didn't look like his eyes were infected though & it appeared to be shed. Sometimes their eyes take awhile to shed also & can retain around that area. You mentioned that it has cleared out from one of his eyes?
