When she diggs, she has dug in a pot made of building foam. You now the compact foam.. and she has dug straight down into this. Found her covered with it the whole body , and inside the eye.
Her eyes are closed , and a bit swollen.


Sprayed her with some water and she sees alot better.
What to do. I want her to stop digging there cause its not a good place.
I turned the egglaying container away from the front door so she feels more secure when digging.

Any thoughts?

please help

well heres what i would do. GET RID OF THE FOAM IN THE CAGE.

then try to take some contact lens solution (saline) and flush its eyes out with a dropper.

Definitely get rid of the foam as Spence said above. If you are afraid to flush the eyes you could try a nice long shower.

what kind of UVB bulb are you using....linear tube or curly compact flourecent.

OPI

In the info it says compact 5.0. If that is what you are using go buy a florescent linear tube UVB, preferably a reptisun 5.0, immediately the compact is known to cause eye problems.

Also the foam could be the immediate problem so do what spencer and breeze suggested too.

okey , will do just that its the whole background..but i will take away the pot foam.

removed the fucking pot(sory for language), hate myself for putting my animals at risk, all i wanted to do was to make a natural terrarium as possible. So retarded thing .hope the eye prob will get better, i called the vet. and they said that they couldnt do anymore than what i can do. Long showers and hope for the best!

Wish Melonia and her eggs luck!

i will try to change lights, just that i need to find a ramp. WONT buy exo terras ramps, they are freakin expensive here in sweden

wait til big brother sees that profanity not good dude not good

didnt understand

but here is a photo of her eyes and how i removed it.

i think right eye is more worse than the left.

First one is left eye, second is right eye.
