Here are some pictures of Stevie, another 15 month CBB salvator. Stevie has had eye problems since about 4 months old or so. The eyes are swollen and black with an occasional milky white cloudiness to them. Stevie is very calm and laid back, and I tend to handfeed (although this is not required as Stevie can sniff out food). I had a basilisk many years ago with a similiar eye condition. $1000 later in vet bills and the basilisk was still blind. Stevie went to the vet about a year ago and no improvement in the eye condition occurred. Although Stevie sleeps in weird positions there does not appear to be any additional health issues. In fact, recently Stevie has experienced a growth spurt overtaking Dragon in size. Again, I have my suspicions on Stevie's sex (independent of the name Stevie), but I am open to other opinions. Any thoughts?

Very cute, nice pictures.

It would be a lot more helpful, for me anyways, to see the vent and the area below the vent on the tail. If you notice two substantial bulges below the vent, you most likely have a male. This can be misleading though, I'm not sure about Salvators but a lot of other lizard females have these bulges but are not hemipenes but hemiclitorises. It's really frustrating in my opinion. The only way to know for sure if if you notice something poking out when he does his business or if you take him to a vet.
