Gimp eye

wwwwwells Jun 18, 2004 09:20 AM

This is a little C. collaris(aqauflame) that was born with a small eye. I haven't determined if he can see out of the eye but it will be interesting to see what happens. Hopefully he'll live a normal life. I have a 9 year old female that can't see out of one eye and one that only has three legs. they both are doing great.

How interesting! I'm sure he will be OK. It is really amazing how animals with severe physical handicaps can persevere and live almost, if not completely, normal lives.

I know a 16 year old Quarter Horse that was brought to the vet because he had been stumbling a lot. After a preliminary exam, the vet determined that the horse was completely blind in one eye and had only 15% of his vision in the other. The horse competed and won 2nd place at a barrel racing competition the weekend before!!!
If he had live a normal life, I think there is hope for your little Quasimodo lizard.
