Tortoise eye foam

[Wpagey]

Hi Everyone,
Our 11 year old Sulcata occasionally will get this foam in the corner of his eye. It seems to come and go very quickly, and he is otherwise acting normal. Does this look like something to get treatment for?

Totally normal and nothing to worry about. One of the common names for this species is "The Crying Tortoise".

In a Redfoot, it would probably indicate mild dehydration or overheating.
I'm not very well educated on Sulcata. Tom certainly is.

Whew! Thanks
