Geeeeeez, I think I just had a heart attack or stroke or maybe evn three. My heart is still pounding.

Got up to check on dinner when I looked over at Pogies VIV, Her eyes were two huge bulges, I mean HUGE . . . I FREAKED, ran to the viv, yanked the glass open and yelled. She calmly opened her eyes (In a kinda rolling motion) and then they were normal again. Then she looked at me like "What???"

Gosh, think I need a drink.

Is this common? Is something wrong?

One freaked out mommy here

It's normal. They do that when they are shedding aound their heads and eyes. Weird looking. Isn't it?

definitely creepy when you see it the first time. Lola did it, and I started poking her to make sure she was still alive, lol She opened up her eyes and looked at me like I was crazy. lol

Oh I know how you feel! When one of my babies did that for the first time, I freaked. Like, WHAT THE HECK is happening? Now that I see it every now and then, I find it quite amusing LOL. Charlie did it for the first time last week, and it was quite scary, him being an adult beardie, with BIGGER eyes! ::)

By chance is she getting ready to shed on her head ?

Yeah sort of, under her chin a thin strip has finished. As you can see the front of her face, belly are about to start. Her back is also greyish and the upper part of all 4 limbs.

She has shed in her face before.... guess I just missed the eye thingy then (Fortunately, I mean really, this eye bulging stuff is on a need to know basis, And it was something I didnt need to know, or see LOL)

I'll say. Creepy as hell. Also poked her, thought she was having kins of an allergic reaction LOL

But thank goodness for this forum, I feel much better now.

Isnt it weird, once you belong to a group like this, you forget all the normal stuff you used to do like phone a friend . . . . Immediately run to the PC and start typing LOL
