Possible lazy eye?

[greenguy420]

Just a quick question, my little guys right eye doesnt seem to be open as wide as his other.
Should i take him to the vet, he doesnt seem to be in any stress color is the same as before i noticed.

hi,my cham has the same problem,people on ere told me to mist him with warm water,en that i should have a repti-sun linear bulb instead ov the coiled one i had,but still no differant up to now

If you are using the long linear Repti-sun 5.0 light and you've been misting the eye gently for several days and there is still a problem with the eye all I can say is take it to a vet.

i have the 5.0 and i ave been misting, ive also been putting him in the "shower" (not directly), just so he can get moisture in the eye. I kinda figure he has something in the eye he plays with it a lot and rubs it.
Seems to be doing well its not swollen like it was.
I will be taking him if it keeps going or if it goes down hill all of a sudden

Just to satisfy my own curiosity. Could this be irritation from mildly toxic plants? Obviously without pix and a better description its impossible to say.

could be a possiblity and something to keep in mind, but issues like this could also be related to "safe plants" as well. if the animal is a plant eater, it could very well bite a stem in half, the liquid in all plants, (clear or white) that is sticky, can cause irritants.

technically, all plants are toxic to a certain extent.

Thats true, ill give it atleast two more days till i take him in.
His eye isnt shut, it was two days ago to were the eye was extremely small, i put him in the shower as soon as i saw this and it opened rite back up, but i still catch him favoring that eye from time to time.

No real point of pics nothing is coming out, just he keeps that one eye shut most of the time.
if liquid or anthing was coming out of the eye, a pic would be the first thing to come up.

try a small treatment of turtle eye drops. do a search or make a post regarding how to go about doing it the right way.
