hey remember my turtle lily? I cleanaed the water just this morning for her so everything is clean and yes i have a uvb light 5.0 and she eats of course, and she sleeps, but once in a while she would close her eyes and sleep in the plants [or is she...] and then when she tries to get up, which she succeeds, her eyes are ahving trouble opening and she sort of 'twitches' as she tries to reach the surface of the water. What's wrong and what's it called and will she be okay?

and whenever she looks into the UVB light she squints her eyes, is it because of that? Too much UVB light? I have a picture and a video, notice how her eyes are closed some of the time and others not.
I'll get the photos asap and post them here

Which UV light are using? Brand? Strength? Distance from the basking area?
