Hey everyone! I noticed that my little guy has what looks to me like irritated skin around his eye but I'm not sure what is causing this. I've noticed him scratching his eye and have been debating taking him to the vet but wanted to ask here first.
Since getting him I have been soaking him daily for about 20 mins. His basking temperature is kept around 100F during the day and ambient heat is maintained with multiple CHE's at night. Humidity is between 40-80% and he has a T5 10.0 strip UVB light. His substrate is composed of mostly cypress mulch w/ added sphagnum moss, some organic top soil, and then ZooMed reptisoil. Maybe his substrate is irritating him? I'm not quite sure. Any help or advice is greatly appreciated!
