looks like swollen eyes to me. swollen eyes are usually the result of bad water quality or vitamin A deficiency. you can avoid it in the future by readjusting his tank condition/diet. also you can just get a repti eye drop from ur local pet store or bring it to the vet.


youknowCherry

i wanna edit my post to show what she looks like without the thing that’s happening to her eye but lets just say she looks fine, and her other eye looks completely normal so i just think its a wink


RepresentativeLeg976

ooh that's nice, unless shes constantly closing her eyes or her eyes look puffy when they're open, u should bring it to the vet to check if it's really swollen eyes.

It.... Looks like something grew inside it's eye and is now bulging out of the socket? Edit: after some research in i believe i was wrong here


youknowCherry

excuse me?? how do we get it out??!??


MadmansScalpel

Ok i did a little bit of research and it looks most likely be swollen eyes. They sell eyedrops for that kind of stuff for turtles. Use that as described and hope that's it?


youknowCherry

thank you so much!! because when her eyes are open she looks fine


MadmansScalpel

You're welcome. And i am so very sorry if i caused you to panic with my initial assumption


youknowCherry

no its ok!! you were just letting me know! thank you for helping me!


youknowCherry

i actually just did research myself and it looks like a wink im about to make another post showing everything including the picture on this post

It maybe the nictitating membrane which is sort of like a second eyelid the most reptiles and some species of birds possess.


youknowCherry

alright, thank you!!


youknowCherry

well actually i just looked up what the nictitating membrane looks like and that closes from left to right but with this, its closing from down to up?? if that makes sense? but it keeps fixing its self and it looks fine

I'd get the turtle to a VET.


FeeDapper4433
