I've posted this in a couple of places trying to get pics to post so bare with me please, wondering if I need to get my girl to the vet. She doesn't want to open her eye or maybe she can't. I've had her about a year and she hasn't shed yet, so I don't know if that's what could be going on.
Also she is propping herself up in the corner and sleeping but I've found her on her back twice this week ..not normal behavior for her at all. Her encloser is misted twice a day, she has fresh water also, her hide is on the cool side of her, temp in the encloser is 90-95, (outside temp is between 105-109) I'm using a 10w basking light, and she is eating lettuce, dandelion greens, spinach, Thomas hay and dried fruit 20190804_125450.jpeg20190804_125517.jpeg20190804_125527.jpeg20190804_125648.jpeg

I'm certainly no expert, but I would probably get to the vet at the earliest chance, doesn't looks fun. Regards to tipping herself over, Helmut did that when he was much younger after changing substrate to the coco brick, which was moister than he was used to, he used to scramble and climb the walls and eventually tip himself.

Are you soaking the tort? How about your bulb? If it is one of those fluorescent corkscrew types, it could be causing eye problems
