Question
hello i have a beared dragon and he is haveing problems with his eyes he cant open them probley and he is beering him self in the sand all the time and curling up in a ball can u help plz

Answer
 What kind of UVB light source are you using?  If it is a compact or coil type, remove it and replace with the Fluorescent tube.  The compacts and coils emit so strong a level they cause damage to reptile eyes.  Have him checked by the vet for any damage.
