My best friend has a Chinese Water Dragon, which he bought from Petco a few months ago. It seemed to be getting really healthy and bulking up but the last week or so it has been really inactive. It had a bad shed about 3 weeks ago but he put the lizard in water to help the shed come off and it did. Now on top of being inactive, it has a sort of red crust over its left eye and can't open it. He has been fed the pellets for lizards from the pet store, meal worms, and crickets on occasion. Is the lizard just not receiving enough moisture or does it sound like something more serious?
Thanks.
