i took on both geckos for a bit. the female is fine. the male had a good bit of retained shed and a very thin eye cap that was starting to form.

i added an extra moist hide to their tank and kept the humidity up. every night, i soaked him for 20 minutes, then rubbed each eye with a q tip. i force fed him crickets, mealworms and a small pinkie (i've had him since sunday. 1 week). rubbed ointment on each eye and put him to bed. tonight the last bit of eye cap came out. his eyes are clear and alert!

thanks for all the advice!
