i bought and now have 2 water dragons that are about a month or so old.
i came home today and their eyes were stuck shut, and thats not the only thing that worries me, they have some goop on the eyes to, or at least the eyelids are goopish kind of watery.
i usually know the problems, but this is one thing i havent incounterd, whats wrong with them?

take them back to the pet store...they may have some type of virus that they caught from the store or at least you shohuld be able to speak to someone there about it. .

Nothing personal but I don't think you have enough experience to know the usual problems or you would know that this sounds like either improper humidity/temps, respiratory infection caused by such and/or vitamin deficiency; or one of the more basic husbandry problems such as improper substrate or foriegn substance irritants.
Instead of asking the question on a board you should be taking them to a reptile vet. An animal in pain deserves better than waiting for a answer by bulletin board.
After that, see www.anapsid.org and join a water dragon forum somewhere with experienced keepers.

Your going to have to take them to a vet. I had one come in that never had heat and developed a respiratory infection and then an eye infection like your talking about and he died from it. The sooner you get them to a vet the better.

"""Nothing personal but I don't think you have enough experience to know the usual problems"""". I think you mean knowledge you gain experience from hands on you gain knowledge from learning. nothing personal for real you have great info though and a great website.
