Watery eyes, drowsy

[Oscar_Smith]

Got an adult Russian tortoise (wc) around Halloween, from the start she wasn't very active. I guess that that's just her personality. My main concern is that she is now beginning to have watery eyes, almost as if she is crying. Does anybody know what's going on? I have an exotic vet within 30 minutes so I could go there.

That stinks because I just bought 2 more of them
Now I don't have enough money for the right light. I am in a pickle. One question, is this an okay heat light? http://www.lllreptile.com/products/49-zoo-med-100-watt-basking-bulb
