my T. Grans eyes are half red and half normal

the nitrates and nitrites are all fine and the ph is around alkaline-neutral(closer to alkaline)

he isnt lethargic and he just ate a big ole worm 2 days ago

I cant get a good picture of him because my brothers camera is brocken, but here is one i took with my mom's

the second one is how his eye looked about a year ago

Wish i could help Dane but in thirty years of newt keeping it something i've never seen, i wonder if its burst blood vessels like you get in humans, could he have been trapped at any time in the tank under a rock or something, maybe whilst hunting for food. If he's acting normal i would just keep a close eye on it and wait to see if it clears up.
 
Is it bilateral? I can't say either. It's really weird. I've never seen anything like it.
 
I suppose that rules out any trauma or anything. That's so weird. Is your newt getting enough sleep? lol
 
It shouldn't be a long lasting problem and should clear up.

Do you have more than one in the tank? Are you sure its a male?

Has anyone any idea what it might be if it's no trauma? I have never seen anything like it and would also have thought that it was a physical injury that damaged blood vessels.
 
my t. gran had the same thing about a week ago I dont know what it is but she is fine and now its gone so I would't worry about
 
How bizarre. May I post one of your photos on Caudata Culture, Dane?

    Hey everyone, just want a little advice. Its 55 - 60 celcius in my Salamanders tank. Hes curled up and tyring ti bury himself, Im assuming hes too cold. I was wondering if he would benefit from a heated rock cave (since he LOVES his cave) that I could set on low? I NEVER see him curled up and trying to bury himself unless his tank sits at 63 degrees celcius or lower. So I am assuming hes a little uncomfortable.

    He also seems a little sluggish, again, assuming hes cold. Having heating trouble with the new house right now. What do we think? Was thinking of grabbing this for him since its got very low, medium, and higher medium heat settings that exude heat downward inside the rock cave but ALSO exudes it UPWARDS outside of the rock cave, effectively keeping the tank itself a little warm. Seems like it miiiight be a little small for him though, my guy is about 7 inches from tip of his nose tothe tip of his tail. What do we think? https://www.amazon.com/Reptile-Simulation-Adjustable-Temperature-Tortoise/dp/B0CH1DPGBC
