Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

I increased the heat and humidity a slight notch and he seems to be doing better today, but now the eye problem still is ongoing, he will not open his eyes and all now he even eats with his eyes closed. the only way i can get him to open his eyes is by turning him upside town and then he opens for a slight second.
i was reading online that for infection, Buytil can be giving in 5mg dosages to rid the infection, any vets out there know any thing about that.
as i stated before there are no vets around my area that do exotic pets so i have to self treat this one.
thanks

also the uva basking i got was 25 watts, it heats the basking spot to 115-125 per infer red tester. 25 watts sounds low but i suppose its what i need since cage is not very deep

Post a picture of your setup please so I can tell you exactly what to do.
or you can email it to me - info@microzookits.com
First things first, 25watts is WAY too low. I don't care what your temp gun says it's not nearly enough for a 24" tall cage. You're gonna need at least 100watts if not more.

i measured it and its only 13 inches tall, but when i got home from work the lizard somehow popped the top and got out of the enclosure. It took about 2 hours to find him and he was in the closet hanging in my jacket. When i pulled him out he was wide awake pissed and eyes wide open acting normal, i set him on my lap for a bit and eyes still open. Put him in the enclosure and he was back to closing his eyes again, i turned the 10.0 uvb off and he begin to open his eyes so i think its got something to do with this light, but not 100% sure because last night he would not open them and the 10.0 was off. It must be hurting his eyes somehow or something in the cage is affecting his eye sigh. I will dig my cam out and get some pics,
grammar and punctuation is bad but im in lack of time

Lighting
Lights labeled Full Spectrum are referring to visible light spectrum only not UV or infra red. UVB bulbs also have UVA in sufficient amounts. it is better to use lower wattage bulbs than higher wattage. By that I mean say 3 50 watt bulbs in a row as opposed to a single 160 watt. You can get the bulbs closer to the animals and it creates a baking spot that allows them to get their whole body under it. Also the lower watt bulbs mean the monitor wont burn itself if it comes in contact with them. If I am having heat issues but light is sufficient then I like to use either ceramic heat emitters or radiant heat panels.

Hi Tim, I might have some advice for you. I just took my savanah to the vet about a week ago for a similar problem. He sometimes would walk around with his eyes closed and rarely opens his left eye.
Heres what the vet said. There are usually 1 of three reasons for reptiles not openning their eyes.
1) They have something in them, dirt, food, whatever. Should be obvious
2) They are dehidrated. make sure you have enough water for him to submerg in. Also if you have hard tap water, you may want to use distilled water.
3) Not enough vitamins. Sometimes they cant produce enough eye lubricant
If your feeding him primarly insects, or not using any suplaments its most likely vitamins. The vet gave me a puppy vitamin suplament for like 10 bucks, that I inject into the mice I feed him which has fixed the problem for me. She said any vitamin suplament with a lot of vitamin A should do the trick.

Also you may want to read this

I just found this. My lizards eyes have gotten better with vitamins but they are not completely better, they are still closed most of the time when he is lying down in his cage. I have one of the mentioned bulbs and I am going to leave it off for a few days and see if he gets better.
