HELP!!!! Leopard Gecko has one eye

imadork Aug 11, 2003 07:43 PM

My leo has had problems shedding and there was a piece that she would not let me get off of her over her lef eye. I left it until her next shed and it still did not come off. Well, now that I am able to take it off, she has no eye. I don't know what happened. I don't know what to do. Should I ake off the piece of skin over her eye socket or should I leave it? Also, how can I avoid it getting infected?

well after much work of getting the skin off the eye seems to be there but just sunken in. shes eating and active so i think she will be ok. the eye just looks to be in bad shape.
