Would you say these are puffy eyes?

[Kisobel]

My tortoise still a little off but not sure if his eyes look puffy, only when closed but look alright when open.

They look puffy and it is sheltering. Please share setup, heat and particularly the lights, duration and bulbs as they can be a cause. I would turn of light asap to see if that helps whilst you get a solution. Warm shallow soaks in a high sided container in a room with natural light may help.

They look puffy to me. Could you answer these questions?

Any other symptoms:
Does he close his eyes or blink often? Do they seem to bother him (rubbing the eyes)? Does he close his eyes in the soak water? Do the eyes seem watery?

Conditions:
What kind of bark are you using? What kind of heating and lighting bulbs do you have (what distance)? What is your humidity?

He doesn’t really have any bother in the bath, his eyes sometime look watery and I believe that’s when he is dehydrated.

I believe the problem is the UVB light, I can’t find the mounting brackets and I think it’s a few inches too close. I’ll get this sorted asap

I know all of my other stuff is correct as it has been verified many times, but I’m fairly sure that’s the issue.

Just to make sure that this is the case:
What brand is your UVB light? Is it a t5 or t8? What percentage of UVB does it emit? How close is it currently?

Yep, this is quite powerful and usually has to be at about 40 to 60 cm of the ground. If yours is lower than this, I would definitely try lifting it.
