Vealed Charm Help!Edited
My Charm is a couple months old. Today he wont open his eyes while he is wondering around...
I hand him 2 times a day. he eats 4 or 5 1 to 2 week old crickets that have been gut loaded. his poops are white and brown, his tank temps are between 25 and 30 Celsius, i have a monsoon 400 that keeps the humdity at 75 to 90 %.... i have a uva spiral bulb that is above the cage by a foot so that way its not to bright. (I read on one site spiral uv bulbs are bad) Turbo my Charm is a bright light green. he is moving around a lot, even with his closed eyes.. any help?
