Hii everyone so I just got my first bearded dragon almost a month ago and he been doing just fine but for the past 3 days he been closing one eye I'm worried! Also he is shedding by his eyes and everything I don't know if this is normal or not please let me know thank u guys so much!
He may have gotten a wee bit of shed in it. See if you can rinse it out either with plain saline solution [ not the kind for contac lenses ] or soak him briefly in warm water and use a clean eyedropper to rinse it. It will probably be fine.
This is pretty normal behavior when shedding on or around the eyes. As suggested, he may have gotten some shed stuck on his eye lid or around his eye lid that might be bothering him.
You can bathe him too, for some moisture to see if you can get his eye cleared, as well as use some sterile saline solution & a swab to help also. Just be careful as the skin there is very delicate!
You are using the Reptisun 10 tube bulb or the compact/coil light?
Terrific, then the UVB light shouldn't be causing any issues then. I think that the shedding is what is causing him to close his eye with more frequency right now. It should improve once all of the shed
is off & gone.
Great, I am glad he is doing a lot better now.
You can post new pictures of him once he is done with all of his shedding, too. He will feel a lot better once all of that old skin is off!
my bearded dragon used to do this. i found somewhere that they could be focusing on something with the other eye, but that could be wrong. he stopped doing it though
