ive had beardies for two years now and now all the basics and more but i just got a chris allen red babie from the FIRE expo and for a day now she constantly keeps her left eye closed even though she can open it when she wants to. What should i do ive already tried bathing her but that didnt work. any suggestions.

it sounds like he has scratched or irritated it in some way. You could wash it out with plain saline solution. If you see any swelling or discharge from the eye I would take it to a vet. The usual vet eye drops are less than $10.00 thru my vet so the main expense will be the office call. It is possible he was bitten by another dragon but that usually leaves a visable wound to the skin near the eye. Hope this helps.
