Freddy woke up this morning and it appears as if his bottom eyelid is swollen maybe. It kinda looks like some shed blocking his eye, but when i wiped it, it
didnt come off. Does anybody know if there are any common problems like this? I dont leave live insects in his cage so i have to rule out a bite.

if it doesnt go away by the time i get home from work then were takin a trip to the vet, just wondering if anyone else has seen this

thanks[/img]
