He has been just fine no problems at all for the 3 years we’ve had em it seems like when I was giving him a bath the water got dirty and he likes to splash so I’m guessing the dirty water must’ve gotten in his eye and from rubbing it he’s irritating it. This happened last night and I have an appointment with his vet tomorrow at 3pm I just hope it’s not too late to get it cured... he still active eats walks around just that eye is bugging him... I just wanna know that he’s going to be okay.I see he's on dry orchid bark. Orchid bark is the best substrate but it needs to be damp.
Are you using indoor UV? What type of bulb? At what distance?
Is the enclosure an open top?
What size tortoise?
Does he go outside much?
I see kale in the pic, but what else do you feed him?
Eye problems are most commonly from:
1. Wrong UV bulb.
2. Dry dusty substrate, or wrong substrate, like sand mixtures or soil.
3. Malnutrition from feeding a small variety of grocery store greens with no amendments.
4. Cool temperatures.
Let's see if we can confirm or deny these four things?
