You should have had the eye checked out in the first place, so with the addition of refusing food you should be heading out to one immediately. If you don't know of a good reptile vet ask the place you got them from or contact a local herp chapter or contact a local University with a vet school. But that leo needs to be seen yesterday.

Steve, heading to the vet for starters is great advise. I've had the misfortion of being down this road. Long story short, not pretty. I'd like to add bring a fresh fecil sample and request that it be checked for Trichomoniasis (a.k.a Pinworms), Coccidiosis,and Cryptosporidium. Often times vets can't check for Crypto at there office so the fecil will have to be sent to a lab. Yes, it will be expensive, but worth it. Get on top of it ASAP, for all three are highly contagious. Please, learn from my mistake.

Chris

P.S. I encourage you to ask more questions and I will try to respond.

ARE ANY of those contagious to snakes? just curious b/c if it is, i will remove him from my reptile room immediately. i will take him to a vet on my next day off. i have many, many snake, and dont want them to get sick too.... thanks!

This really isn't a "wait until my next day off" kind of thing, this is more of a take it NOW or take a long lunch last friday when you first posted. I'm not trying to be harsh or mean, but unless this guy has a huge fat reserve and is drinking enough water you are risking his recovery and his eyesight by waiting. As the last poster said, we've all had to learn hard lessons and we're here to save your little guy. There are many things it could be which can be horrible and painful to him and they need to be treated.
