    Help

    So I fed my BP come Friday and it's been about 48hrs since he's eaten and I saw him out of his hide and crawling around and decided to pull him out, upon gazing into his cute little puppy face I noticed that his left eye had a dent, what is the cause and how do I get it back to normal?

    A dent could indicate that he isn't properly hydrated. Does he have access to fresh water and proper humidity levels?

    I make sure he has about an inch and a half of fresh water daily and I spray him down every week

    Is it a slight denting or is it pretty major? A photo would help us assess the situation for you.

    It must've been moisture, after I put him back I misted him directly and the tank and it went back to normal. I appreciate it though!

    If you have him in a glass tank misting weekly isn't going to cut it. I mist mine pretty much daily and when he's in shed I need to about twice a day. You'll also need to get some moss and put in corners or various areas of tank and keep it moist to help with humidity.

    Yep, daily misting, moss, and a good substrate are necessary for humidity in a glass aquarium.....
