Hello Everyone,
I recently bought a new light fixture for my beardie to keep him warmer for the winter. I was told by the pet store that this is one of the best lights you can have but I think it's hurting him. I bought him the R-Zilla Halogen/Fluorescent Light Combo and about 4 days after I started using it he stopped opening his eyes. He only opens them for a few seconds and then closes them again, more so his right eye. I have looked to see if they look infected or if there is any discharge of any kind and so far there appears to be none. I tried to feed him his cricket but he seemed like he couldn't see them. Is it possible that the light is making him go blind? He always goes for his cricket when he's in him feeding tank. He seems to just lay around the last couple days and I think it's because he's getting weaker from not eating so I need to know if I need a new light ASAP so I can get him better. Any input would be greatly appreciated. I've had a lot of issues with my beardie and he's my first one and I want to get him better. The light was supposed to help him not make him worse. Please help....
Thanks in advance for any input.
This is his tank with night bulbs on...
With the day bulbs on...
This is the light I bought. It has two blue bubs and two red bulbs...
