I would normally think that it is them cleaning their eyes or something irritating, but it seems to happen to all of them (which of course would not rule out infection or irritation) but it doesn't seem to be cleaning of the eyes. Plus, it is continual since I have received them. As for the tank, I have the bottom lined with Eco Earth coconut fibers. I did clean the tank with very dilute Ivory soap and then very generously rinsed it out, as the tank was previously a fish tank a year ago and had not been cleaned in as long. The only real concern is that a rubber tree was placed in the tank before I arrived home on the day they arrived and so they had contact with it, but it was promptly taken out when I found out.
One other thought is that I have a 100W heat bulb. Although I have never had trouble with a high watt bulb with reptiles, could this cause any eye irritation? All your imput has been very helpful. Thanks so much.
