It takes a while for my tort to open his eyes after sleeping sometimes.
Like the eyelids are stuck, so he can "blink" while its shut, but can't open them for a few moments, any advice?20220206_091000.jpg

I wipe my tortoise's eyes every morning, with a cotton- wool pad moistened with boiled (but cooled down ) water -he used to have a similar problem, but this has stopped it.

What is the over night low temperature in the enclosure, and what is the ambient humidity percentage? What age and size is the tortoise?
