Hello,
I have a Redfoot tortoise named Lucy, about 3 years old now. She has been doing alot of growing in the past few months and I have noticed her eyes have gotten alot darker.. What concerns me is that the 'whites' of her eyes are very grey now. I didn't know if this was normal or due to a vitamin deficiency or something else? I was doing some snooping on the forum and saw that sometimes the lighting in the enclosure could be a problem? She has one coil UVB bulb, 8.0 UVB and one halogen heat lamp. I have heard mixed things about the UVB (whether they need it or not). I dont know if this is the problem.. Here are two pictures that show her eyes quite well. I just want to know if it is normal or not and if not, what can i do?
