What type of substrate?

A couple of weeks ago my baby leopard torts eyes began staying closed unless iwould soak it, then itwouldopen its eyes towards the end of the soak. I also noticex that it wasn't wanting to eat also. I drove 80 miles to an exotic vet just to find iut that it is too small to do blood work, x rays...

I have it running the length and 3 hides, 2 with spag moss for humidity. Thanks for all your help. You seem to respond pretty regularly.

What should the uv level read and should my uv light run the length of the house or the width on the basking side?
