They do look a bit odd but then the gecko's head looks a bit odd to me.. Could just be the angle.. The eyes look smaller than they should be... but again.. could be the angle...See if you can't get better pictures like.. head on... so we can see the spacing and the shape right.

I have seen geckos like this - it is called "bug eye". Strange but true, some geckos have the trait of big, round eyes, that look like they "bug out." The geckos I have known with this are happy and healthy, they just look a little silly and get a few giggles out of people! d: As long as your gecko's eyeballs are reacting to light and such, it should be juust fine.

WOW those eyes are HUGE! i got my leo when it was about that small a few weeks ago and they didnt look like that. your leos eyes look like the guys eyes off of limp bizkit that use to play the bass! he would put in these huge contacts that would make his eyes completly black and bulge out it seemed, you can see this on his music videos. i cant think of his name right now but if he doesnt have one yet, name him after that guy! also i have a bearded dragon and i was reading that message board and there is another name for something like that, but what happened was this persons beardie's cells were dividing rapidly and just made the eyes stick out. they thought it was because of high blood pressure! ha, i thought that was funny. no worries!
