So I have a juvenile I have had for 1 3/4 years. He was rubbing his eyes from his first soak. Not sure if this is normal. But he has had two respiratory infections in 6 months.
The first time we did antibiotics and ointment, shanked his habitat to a glass tank (at the vets request) to better provide moisture that we weren’t getting in his table. We switched to all distilled water. Now he is having eye problems again both eyes.
The only difference besides humidity is that now that he can’t go out to his little garden several outed a week, I put him in his table when he gets really energetic for a couple of hours at a time. The table has plants growing that I use tap water on. His outside garden is watered with rain only.
So, I’m wondering if he could have a sensitivity to something in the tap water. His only symptom is swollen, itchy eyes.
