 Pink layer near eye?

my frilled dragon, has some sort of pink lining, partially over his retina. I use the brick bedding that you soak in water and breaks down into small fibers. Does anyone know how detramental to his health this may be. Will post pictures soon.

Sounds like he has some of that bedding in his eye...you need to flush his eye out with some saline solution or sterile water...you may even want to get some turtle drops and put those in his eye to prevent an infection......

Is he/she squinting? I always keep some saline solution on hand for problems like this. You can hold him lightly squeeze the bottle into his eye. Also try not to get it in his/hers nose. If it doens’t get better in a couple days then I would take it to the vet. It could have some of it embedded.
