Hey guys my beardie Chubbs is shedding and she had a bunch of shed around her eyes and I got it off with a simple bath and she rubbed on EVERYTHING. So her right eye is completely done shedding her left eye has a tiny itty bitty piece left. Her right eye is watery (more than normal) sorta like she is crying and I got this giant natural hide and it seems to be shedding pieces more and more every day which may explain her watery eye. How could I clean her right eye out? Bath day is tomorrow so she will soak for a bit and i cleaned her tank today and swept all the hide and shed skin out of her enclosure. It's strangely just her right eye not both that's watery and I did look for solution but the eye drops or saline I seen wasn't safe so I didn't buy it

You want regular saline no contact lens stuff- rinse her eye - can you post a pic of it please-- also bulbs can cause eye issues as well - what are you using for a uvb and basking bulb? Brand and bulb for uvb - please no colored or daytime bulbs for basking -

Flukers 100W basking bulb Arcadia T5 UVB 22 inches (20-22) I will try to snag a pic at some point and post it. She hasn't had any problems with her eyes besides the shedding and the new log/hide i got it's Zoo Med Habba Hut it's natural wood but leaves a mess
Note : Pic is the log and the mess it leaves on my pant leg I'm thinking it's the culprit

Yes I agree I would get rid of the hide --- your bulbs are good-- the T 5 is it on top of your screen or inside the tank ? The screen will determine where the UVB needs to be placed- if its a fine screen mesh like a screen door it would need to be inside the tank approx 12-15 inches w/ a piece of basking decor directly underneath - if its a wide hole type of screen it can be on top w/ a piece of basking decor directly underneath it 8-10 inches

My T5 is on the inside suspended by string the mesh top will filter 80% of the UVB so that's why it's inside my Amber has it a bit lower and Chubbs has it a little higher bc she is bigger and the log raises her closer to it. I loved the log and I had the fact that it is bigger and is a bit rougher so they can rub on it in mind due to them shedding but it leaves such a mess. I thought of possibly sanding the inside down or put duct tape on the inside so it wouldn't make a mess but then I would worry the tape would ware down
Petsmart has one that looks pretty realistic but is plastic. I have one like yours in one of my tanks and the plastic one in another tank but like the plastic one better as it's easier to clean.
