In my experience with my two aldabs, I find they do tear alot. Mostly when they get too warm, this happens alot when they are small and are in the sun they heat up quickly and start to tear and look for shade. Even if its only 60 deg. out, their body temp could be alot higher than the ambient temp. especially if the just came out of a heated tort. shed or a warm place.
Also if they are inside or in a heated tort shed. the heating device could be drying out their eyes. I found this to be true especially with che and basking bulbs. This will cause them to tear also.
I think if you try to keep an eye on their body temp. not the ambient temp. that could rule out getting too warm. Though it is natural for them to do this. Also if you use an electric heating device try figure out if that can be causing "dry eye". Again good luck and I hope this helped without offending anyone.
