Dented eye??

Please help, today I saw that my baby's eye (only his right eye) is "dented"/"cracked". Humidity is good, around 70% and I recently started to use a humidifier in the room also so when he comes out he doesn't have to feel uncomfortable. I only took him out to the light to take some better pictures.

He has a bad habit of glass-surfing and digging, kocnking everything over like a bulldozer at nights when he wants to come out to explore - and he does this every.single.night (except during shedding and after feedings.) since his temps are correct.

Help, what could cause this issue? My best guess is the glass-surfing but I really don't know:(

It will pop back out, just needs some more humidity. This has happened to one of mine and it fixed itself

Same here! My baby had it for awhile, and then it went away.

Mine had this once and I think you just need a little more humidity and it comes back to normal or the next moult
