One of my red eared sliders seems to close his eyes a lot?

I recently rescued two red eared sliders from the animal shelter I volunteer at and all in all they have settled in nicely.... They are both active and feed well, however, the larger of the two seems to close his eyes a lot?? I can't see any sign of infection and didn't know if i ought to be worried? I know now that the tank I have is a little inadequate... as in it is too small and has a flourescent light covered by glass which filters the uvb rays. I will purchase a better set up next month when I can afford it but in the mean time I have built them a mini pond in a paddling pool on my deck and the weather has been good so they have been getting natural light.... this is the first time I have owned turtles so just trying to make sure I get it right....

Reply:That's normal. I wouldn't worry. But next month make sure you get them the right size tank!
Reply:it might just be the water? tap water can have a lot of chlorine in it. if you recently set them up it may still be in the water, and eventually it should dissipate/stop affecting the turtles.
