Yes, I have been, I meant I'm using that as his day basking light.
Just out of curiousity, what is the issue with the waterfalls?
And also I'm afraid he isn't getting enough to eat, where he has his eyes very scrunched al the time I can't really tell if he's been hunting the crickets at all.
So, just a little update.
I brought him to the vet yesterday, he was given artificial tears which I now have to apply everyday for a little while, I also force fed him a cricket yesterday because he hadn't eaten in two days, just cut it in half and fed it to him one piece at a time each time he...

He started opening his eye again today somewhat for the first time in days, which leads me to believe it was a uvb issue.
Also at...
Wow guys this is amazing, thanks so much for all the immediate help! I'll have pics up asap! So I should avoid real vit A and stick to beta carotene correct?
And, yes I do need to be gutloading them a little more frequently, I forgot to mention I've also been feeding the crickets the jelly...
Hey everyone, my baby veiled Perry has had his left eye almost all the way shut for a solid three days now. On the first day I researched this and found that too high of a uvb bulb could cause what was comparable to snow-blindness, I realized that I had stupidly bought a 10.0 UVB coil...
