Baby beardie eye

[desijj00]

Hi all! I adopted my baby beardie May 9th of this year, so he's still not to old. Not sure of the exact age honestly. I noticed the other day he was scratching his eye on his log. And a day or two later, it started to swell up as shown in the picture. When I wipe it down with a warm cloth he does open it, seen in pic #2. He did start shedding his tail also, is this a concern, eye infection? Something in his eye? What should I do?

Hes shedding-- you can rinse the eye w/ some regular saline no contact lens stuff - it will help w/ the shedding - maybe take a soft baby toothbrush and gently brush the eye to remove the loosen shed --- also they can swell up as well so dont be alarmed if that happens w/ the shed --
