Answer
Hi Ariel

Discharge from the eyes usually indicates an infection or irritation and if this is an infection your Beardie needs to see a vet to be treated

This is not normal in Bearded Dragons-when healthy-their eyes should be bright and clear

If you have just recently purchased this animal-bring it back as it does not sound as if it is healthy

Should you decide to keep it -please bring it into a vet to be seen and treated

You can check the eye before calling the vet to see if there is a small piece of dead skin anywhere and gently remove it if you find some

Can you please describe your set-up for him/her and we can see if there might be any problems there?

I hope to hear back that everything has worked out fine for your little Dragon
