Today i was checking out all my frogs and happened to notice that one of my budgett's frog's eyes was a little gray compared to his other eye which is green. does anyone know what this could be? maybe cloudy eye? any help would be greatly appreciated,thanks.

If the greyness appears to be on the surface of the eye then it could be lipid deposits on the eye.
If the greyness looks to be under the surface of the eye then the discoloration could be caused by infection, a scratch or wound, irritation of the eye through exposure to too much light (UVB has long been suspected to cause this sort of eye damage).
The best thing for you to do would to get the frog a check up at the vets.

The eye does not give the appearence of classical corneal lipidosis but appears to be caused by one of the following infection, a scratch or wound, irritation of the eye through exposure to too much light (UVB has long been suspected to cause this sort of eye damage).

I would strongly recommend seeking a vet.
