One of my male brevs, Dot, has been rubbing his eyes on leaves, sticks, bark, whatever. This morning, I would swear it was his right eye he was rubbing; but just now it was his left eye. I had just misted them, and he actually climbed up to the nozzle of the mister. Of course he did the gross "cleaning eyeball" thing; I noticed him moving his mouth/jaw when he did this. But even after he was relatively dry and there were no more droplets on his eye, he continued rubbing it. I lifted him out on my hand and looked closely at his eyes. While I was holding him, I noticed him blnking his left eye for a bit long, kind of squinting it for a second or two more than blinking. He is the one I saw shed most recently, about two weeks ago. He is also the larger male, but stays hidden in the pothos most of the time, as opposed to the smaller male, who roams around the tank (except for in the pothos).
Does this sound normal? Should I talk to the herp vet?

The gecko's water dish was dry, too, so obviously I didn't emphasize water enough! But since then (Sunday) I've been misting a pretty good bit. I'll keep an eye on his eye (hehe) and see if it gets better/worse. It looks pretty normal now.
