Hi, I’m a first time beardie owner and today I took Reya out her cage and she is maybe 3 months. I noticed something in her eye. I’m not sure what it is or what to do .

I would recommend to take her tonthe vet. If its swelling then something is wrong. Eyes are fragile i wouldn't take a chance, i would go to the vet

What are you using for a UVB? coil or a tube ? What are you using for a substrate? Any colored bulbs? What about the basking bulb is it a clear bright white bulb or a off white yellowish bulb?

Hello,

How is her eye doing? The vet probably is going to have to intervene, it is most likely
a cyst or abscess that will have to be removed in some form or fashion. It will get worse
if the infection spreads..
Are you able to get her to a vet?

Hello,

Oh you are sure, your dragon is male & not female?
How is the eye looking? Post a picture of the eye drops you are using, just so we know
what it is called. If it does not improve though, he will need vet attention, because it can
be very painful if it doesn't get any better.
