Mites is an option. ..
Wipe her down with some damp white paper towel and look for the black specs over the paper ..
If you find one or more try crushing with your fingernail or a knife and see if blood is there .

Yup, checking for them today after we give her shot.

Well, doesn't look like mites. All I saw on the paper towel was a bit of substrate. She does look like she's going into a shed so perhaps she is preparing. Her eyes just started clouding today. Time to bump up the humidity.

Yep .. sounds as though that's the reason - thankfully not mites

She actually did the cutest thing the other night and put her tail into the water bowl so she could rest her little chin on it. So adorable. But when I went to get my phone for a picture she lifted her head and gave me an "I know what you're doing lady and it ain't happening" look.
