[Joe Giddz]

Hey all I have a small BD no more than 12 weeks old. I have recently noticed him squinting a lot when in basking side is this normal?

Any advice appreciated

welcome. maybe normal. they're all so different. it may be a bit bright for him. if he has no other signs of illness or something else wrong, I would just watch him. does he move into the basking area voluntarily or do you move him there?

Also, what kind of lighting do you have?

He goes into basking side on his own.

I have a 10.0 reptiglo UV and a 75w white heat lamp for his basking side.

Thanks

Sometimes my beardies squint or close their eyes while basking. It doesn't seem to be related to any sort of problem, I think they're just content.

on your UVB bulb, is it a tube style like a T8 or T5? or is it coil or normal bulb style?

How is your little one doing these days??

The Reptiglo tube bulbs are subpar and not the best UVB to use. That could be causing the eye problems. Reptisun 10.0 T8 or T5 are good and Arcadia 12% and 14% bulbs are even better, but a little more expensive.
