Closed eye

[arnau666]

ok so i have him for 2-3 days, and i just noticed that he closed his right eye 2 times for about 4-5 seconds !that happened when he was in his basking spot, i didnt mist recently , water in the cage is dry and that eye didnt looked as he was cleaning it !temp is about 86 in the basking area!
i use a 10.0 reptiglo -could this be the cause?
btw the eye looks perfectly and its not swollen!
should i worry about this ?or this just happens sometimes?

my guys close an eye for a few seconds every once in a while too.

its not often, and not for long, and i know nothing is wrong with them. mostly, they are cleaning it. even if they dont bulge it out.

if he doenst keep it shut for long periods of time, he probably is.

eye looks fine.

he was probably just cleanign it.

just keep an eye on him (hehe no pun intended) and see how he does.

may want to think about changing out the 10.0 though,
