yemen eyes closing

[crazyfly]

hello all

i have a male yemen about 4 month old who was doing really well until i moved him into his new home which i built. its 4ft x 3ft x 3ft with basking temp of 85-90 and ambient temp of 70-80. uv is 5.0 and have a drip system running twice a day plus misting. after a few hours of moving him i noticed that his eyes were closing and blinking alot as if they irratating him. I did put a live FICUS plant in there which was not in his old home. I have read that the sap of these can cause this to happen. He is still full of bright colour and eating even when handled (with the odd hiss). I have now bought and used eye wash drops putting in 2 drops each eye today.

Please could you give me any other advice
