This is how he's sitting during the day, the eye on the right of the picture is the one he doesn't like to open can anyone see anything wrong with it?? I'm getting worried about him now, I have rearranged his tank best I can, removed the bark and put the UVB on the roof

This is the eye he doesn't open, I still haven't solved why he's closing both during the day??

He still sitting in the basking area with both eyes shut then when he goes for a wander opens one eye, except for when he is after a cricket he opens both, I gave him a good spray today with warm water, I haven't seen him drink for a couple of days and I've only seen him take 2 crickets in the...

Okay he opens the left eye and keeps it open when eating then closes it again after?

He keeps doing that but not opening it after

Tried the shower method but he's keeping it tightly shut!

I've changed the bulb to a reptile heat bulb that lets off UVA and is frosted on the front, I've upped it to a 60watt so it will be dimmer as its plugged in to the thermostat, I'm going to try the shower now

Update he's only closing his left eye now so I think he's got something in it

I can't seem to find the reptile matts I keep coming up with heat matts! Ill take the substrate out today when I get a minute, lights have just come on so when it gets to full temp and the light dims ill have a feel if it burns me lol

Could be ;-)

I don't date try that haha lights out now ill try tomorrow, is the uv still too bright?? I was always advised no guards because chams will climb on it?

How do I resolve it then? If I move if outside the tank it's still as bright? I've put it on a thermo stat so it dims and it's at 86f and not as bright

Thanks for the reply, I recognised the ventilation issue that's why I fitted fans to the vents, can I replace the light bulb with a ceramic and put a thermo stat in?

I'm pretty limited for the lighting as I have frogs in a tank on top, so I can't move the light outside and it can't go any higher, I will start to gut load insects prior to feeding, I also can't raise the tank off the floor as I have nothing to put it on, I've just moved in to my own house so I...

But since you mention it this is where he started hanging out which is above the bulb

Thanks for your reply, the uv is just as bright as a standard fluorescent tube and its a standard 40watt light bulb so I didn't think it was that bright? But yes he only closes his eyes under them I assumed he was sleeping in the warm spot!

Uploaded off my phone so not the high res version

Fixed sorry about that :-)
