Your temp is too low. It must be no less than 78° to 82° for babies.

Most of the time cloudy eye is caused by and infection like everyone has stated. Dirty water is a common way for them to contract it, but I believe it was brought on by their extremely stressful trip to your home.

Where did you purchase them from?

[froggymomma]

Purchased them from reptilestogo out of Florida. They were packed and shipped properly, but the UPS delivery guy did not knock on the door at delivery.
He left them outside in 95 degree weather with heat index of 104. Daytime temp is running 85 night time is 75. Do I need to keep it 85 all the time? His eye is clearer today without any treatment. Not sure what the problem is with it. Vet visit scheduled for tomorrow. Gonna take him for check=up just in case. Thanks for the help.

I asked because most breeders/suppliers will not ship live animals when the temps are too high or low for just this reason. No matter how well you pack them, the chances of something going wrong are much higher.

Yes, they should have day and night temps, but not too drastic of a drop. Aim for 78-79 at night and 80-82 during the day for babies. I strongly recommend a lamp with a dimmer switch so that you can tweak the temps.

Still waiting on those pics. Let us know how the vet visit goes.
