Chinese Water Dragon ILL?

Question
Hello i hav a juevenile chinese waterdragon in a 2 ft aquarium tht is split in two; on side water the other substrate. Got all the required lighting heating etc. and the temps are perfect range of 100 baskin spot and 80 - 70 at nite and the humidity is around 70 - 65. One of his eyes has become watery and slightly lazier compared to the other but he can still open it properly, is eating has dropped also, he is currently moulting but thought i better see if it could be serious. Thanks

Answer
Hi Kris, I would give it a day or two until the shed is completely finished and see if that clears it up. They shed the skin right up to and around their eyes as well and it may just be that which is causing the effect you are noticing with the eye. Shedding will often temporarily effect their appetite as well. A good thorough spraying with mist bottle can help with the shed and flush the eye a bit as well.
If the eye does not return to normal after the shed probably best to have a vet take a look at it. Water dragons are visual hunters so any eye problem will compromise his ability to catch insects
