My young sulcata is feeling the same way



whats the average humidity in your enclosure?



I raised mine from 15% to 30% , and have started giving him eye drops in addition to the soaking/bathing and this has helped him considerably..



Also what UVB light(s) are you using?



Compact florecents and the exo-terra repti-glo 10.0 bulbs are causing a wide variety of eye related issues with reptiles.



get rid of them asap.

get a zoomed Repti-SUN 10.0 tube florecent.
