The picture doesn't show it well, but her eyes are puffy. They aren't always, but it seems like whenever I go to look at her they are, then they go back down when she sees me. They did this around four times just a little bit ago. The first time the eyes were a bit watery (but I soaked her just before that so it might just be water) but then a few times she would rub her eyes on her front legs. Her substrate is kind of moist underneath but is dry on top. She has a zilla 50 dessert tube uv light. Her basking temp lately has been in the 90's, but just now I panicked and raised it to 95 or more. The cool end is around 75. She yawns sometimes, but I've been told this is normal. There is nothing else that seems to be wrong (no bubbles from nose or mucus). Is this a respiratory infection? Or is there a vitamin A deficiency? Or do I need to moisten the substrate some to stop it from getting dusty (it's a mix of coconut coir and topsoil, and the topsoil contains peat moss). The humidity is a little below 50%. Any help will be great.
This sucks because school just started and now this is going to keep me worrying.
