I have had Kovu since Easter and he is reaching head to tip of tail at 7 inches so im guessing he is 2 months old...
I do not use coil light bulbs and i use a 48" long tube 40 watt for UVB and a basking bulb of 150 watt and im not sure what brand because i am borrowing it from my grandparents until i get my own in the mail. i have a dimmer in the dome so i adjust the light to fit the perfect temp.
lights go on at 7 am and go out at 10 pm.
I give him baths at least 4 times a week sometimes he gets 2 baths if he is messy (like today with his baby food)
he can get within 9 inches of the UVB lights
His poo is completely normal and healthy looking urate.
he drinks very well as i have read some people have problems getting them to drink and he has had no problems at all i give him water in a dish and with a dropper to assure he doesn't get dehydrated.
he has reptile carpet as substrate.
He is housed alone as i only have one anyways
cool side is at 75 degrees
hot side is at 94 degrees with the basking site at 100-110 varying at the spot he moves the probe at lol
I just wanted to get those questions out of the way to answer any questions involving them. I have heard of using human eye drops and turtle eye drops so i was thinking about getting some turtle eye drops asap but idk when ill make it out of town to get some so what do you suggest and Should i worry much about this or is it not that serious? they isn't anything coming out of his eye and he opens it but ive noticed that he'll keep it slightly closed on his left side.. he also will open it and then close the other for a second then open that one and close his left eye again for 10 more seconds before repeating... he sleeps fine and also can go a while with both eyes being wide and alert but this has happened for more than just today.. at first i didn't think it was much to be concerned about but now im getting paranoid if he has something in his eye or something! i just want what is best for my baby and i feel like the new mother that calls the doctor for every little hiccup or sneeze but its better to be safe than sorry right? :?
