#1524533 Nellie View Profile	Crusty eye Anyone have problems with crusty eye? It’s the weekend and I probly won’t get into vet till next week. I washed it off but it’s coming back again. Is there something wrong with my plated or is there something..... in the cage? some kind of sickness? Not sure I have only had my plated for 2 years almost. Not much info about sudan plated lizards! Any experience’s out there? thanks Danielle
