    One of my Tortoises eyes won't open!

    Thank you, I'm going to get an additional heater tomorrow. I hope that it is just temporary. It has only affected the eye that faces the bulb the most where he sleeps. I will be sure to post some pictures for you guys when he gets healthy! His name is FlashMyrtle the Turtle
