I just saw him like 7 mins ago and he had it, so I picked him up and he didn't open it. So, not sure.

And no, I wasn't misting, the mister went off about 30 mins before it.

Yeah, he's currently hunting crickets and right before he shoots his eye open halfway for a sec then closes again.

I'm on my phone so I can't really read any replies but he went to bed last night and I woke him up this morning to check on him, both eyes opened and looked around, I put him back in the cage and he closed the one eye again...
