I just purchased a red footed tortoise last Tuesday and was wondering if it's normal for him to have crust on his eyes in the mornings? I put him in his water and let him soak when he gets out he seems fine. Is this normal?

He may have a slight scratch on the eyeball. You can buy a soothing eye ointment online. This is the one I use:
