BLUE TONGUE SKINKS

I have noticed recently small bubbles coming out of Eegore's left eye. I noticed it today when he began eating, but I dont remember if he was eating last time. It is is lots of bubbles, and they end up covering his whole eye in like a coating of bubbles. Look kind of like spit, not discolored or mucus-like. Upon non-bubbled inspection, both eyes look fine and I notice no difference. Any idea what this is and if I should worry?
Will try to get a pic.

I believe this can be a symptom of respiratory infection but I've never personally dealt with ri's in blueys

This is a common symptom of RI's in blueys, though not sure if this by itself is a normal thing. Typically with an RI you will also see nasal discharge, hear crackling noises, etc. Do you know how low your nighttime temps get?

It could be that something was irritating the eye at the time, but it bears watching. Can you hear any unusual noises when he breaths? When my skinks have had RIs there's a wet, crackly noise when breathing, just like when a person has pneumonia. Nasal discharge is also a sign of an RI, as is lethargy. I would watch to see if it happens again.

If you think he may have an RI, he'll need to see a vet for medication, since RIs can be dangerous if not treated, but treatment is pretty simple IMO, so that's a good thing I also bumped up heat on any skink with an RI, so they had warmth 24/7 and couldn't really cool off much (some of the experienced members here suggested it, like inducing a fever), but that's for if you think/know there's an RI.

Haven't noticed any nasal discharge (although I haven't really been looking). I also have not noticed any breathing sounds. I will pay extra close attention to both. He is not lethargic at all and my night temps don't get lower than 68-70 degrees Fahrenheit with 45-50% humidity.

Still working on a pic but haven't seen it happen again. We'll see when feed again tomorrow.

Thanks for the advice so far everyone.

UPDATE - I fed Eegore a grape and a Superworm and did nopt see any bubbles. He definately is not lethargic and does not have any nasal discharge. Upon listening carefully he does ocassionally sound like a quiet squeak toy when he breathes, but not always. Thoughts?
