Question
Okay so i just realized that vendettas left eye is weirder than normal and its fairly concerning.
her eye the bottom half is completely red and the top is blood shot? whats wrong with my beardy? :(
i got the sun glow 10 tube changed nothing besides that there is a light on that side so the uvb doesnt bother their eyes but what could it be?

Answer
Hello Kandis,

Do you have a picture of that for me?  You are using the Reptisun 10 tube bulb correct?  It is mounted directly beside a bright white light, could you post a picture of her tank for me?
How close is she to the light?  She shouldn't be any closer than 6 inches.  The recommended distance is 6-8 inches from the tube bulb.
For now, try getting some sterile saline solution to drop in the eye daily to help soothe the eye.  Does it look infected at all?
