ok when hes in his tank basking his eyes are usually open, a couple times they've been shut, but when i hold him sometimes he just lays on my hand the same way he does when hes sleeping and he closes both or just one eye. even when hes active while i hold him usually one eye will be open one will be closed, theres no consistency as to which eye he closes. i use a mega ray at about 14-16 inches away and ive had him for a week. the breeder said he was 2.5 weeks old when i bought him. is he just being a goof and thinks hes hiding? i cant really tell if his eyes are swollen because hes still quite small, just short of 4inches.
