baby sulcata has itchy eyes? what does this mean?

by Jess Patterson

his eyes are closed a lot of the time, unless i wet them with a q-tip. and he is constantly scratching them with his arms. i just increased the heat becuz it was getting a little to cold in his tank. he eats when i put him in front of his food, so its not like he isnt hungry. could it be becuz of the cooler temp?

Your turtle has an eye infection. It might also have a cold. Please see a vet as soon as possible. These problems will not resolve on their own.

In the mean time, please keep the temperature in the low 80s.
