wet and sticky eye
Posted: 10/05/2010 by adie.k

hi all. new to your site and if i can pick your brains.......
i have a hermann tort and we think he is around 18mths old. ever since we got him, around 6mths ago, on and off he has had a weepy eye. he lives in a table with beech bark as the base. has a combination uva - uvb bulb. gets a soak three times a week and garden fed. when we looked at him this morning his eye was closed and didn't open for around five minutes. a bit sloughy and then very wet with bubbles in it. he is eating and doing everything from the other end as he should , but maybe a little on the sleepy side.if any information could be given it would be great. thanks in advance.
