Hey guys, my TTBT is AAAAALLLLWAAAAY buried. This is what her enclosure looks like. The lights are both lowered. The rocks are about 97* and ambient is about 99* Humidity is 46% on the cool side and temp on the cool side is about 83ish.

She stays in the dirt all the time. And when I get her out, her eyes look like this for a while then go back to normal. See photos.

The reptile store near me said to put vitamin E on a q-tip and then put some on her eyes.

I can’t seem to find out what she needs to come out and wander or come out and eat. She probably has gone a week without anything other than one earth worm.

If anyone can help out that’d be awesome. She’s such a cool animal I want to make sure she’s alright.
