Sulcata clicking/squeaking and eye rubbing

[Zxsong]

Every time around the time I'm soaking her she starts to click or squeak with her mouth and rubs her eyes with her fore arms. I have a video showing her doing both of these things, but I'm not sure how to put it on here or YouTube (I'm computer illiterate!) The water I'm putting her in is fairly warm and I don't keep her in it when it starts to get cold.

Have you measured the temp of the water? You'd be surprised what feels luke warm to us humans can be too hot for little sulcatas.

Also, this may seem odd to ask, but what is your lighting situation?

I'll be sure to measure it when I do it again the lighting I use in her enclosure is a mercury vapor bulb that I have on about 12 hours a day and CHE on at night so it can be warm but not bright. The day bulb gets about 100 degrees in the basking area and 80 degrees everywhere else.

I would check the water temps, and also be sure the tub you are using is free from any soap.
