Hi, my dragon shows the followings for the past week:
1. eyes closed more frequent
2. sometimes shakes head
3. trying to scratch eyes with hands
4. during sleep, on and off lift his head with eyes closed
- His enclosure measures 135 x 55 x 45cm (L x W x H) glass tank with mesh top
- Reptisun T5 below mesh span through 55cm on the left at 12 inches above him
- Basking temperature around 99F
Here are the descriptions of the pic and video:
pic 1. eyes closed head lifted
video 1. shake head (I only managed to capture 1 shake at the beginning of the video, but he will often shake 2-3 times)
video 2. me touch and he is trying to scratch eyes, previously he won't react like this if we touch his eyes
video 3. other times when eyes not closed
I've tried to check but can't see any shedding sign. Is he actually okay or I should ge
t the vet check on him?

How is your dragon today? It was hard to determine the head shaking but every once in awhile I could
see a bit of head movement. They do that if they may be getting ready to shed, if they are trying to scratch
the area, or sometimes if they are excited.
If he has head shaking all of the time he could be having some trouble with calcium levels in his system.
Let us know how he is doing.

Hi I didn't observe him closely these 2 days due to busy at work, so I haven't noticed the shake today (the hard shake). Hopefully I can observe more in the coming days and update again.
As for the shaking due to lake of calcium, actually he is still having it especially when he is nervous. I've been giving liquid calcium according to your dosage and also calcium powder together, I'm not sure did it improve because it happens sometimes and sometimes not.
