skin in the eye

ReptiKH24 Nov 09, 2004 10:44 PM

theres a tiny piece of skin on the top of one of my leo's eye. its not covering the pupil, its right on top of that. it just ate, so its not really bothered by it. i just dont want her to get iritation or catch an eye infection. should i worry, or will this come out on its own?

Skin left behind on the toes, feet and/or legs is very important to clear. However, it's always best to clear it all, and near the eye would be best to remove.
You can moisten a washcloth with warm water, and hold gecko in the cloth. Then gently rub the dried skin. That usually works for mine. Good luck!

or you could try that same method but with a moist q-tip. i find a q-tip easier to use for a small, delicate area like the eye.

i decided to let it be overnight, and everything was clear when i woke up. what a relief. thanks for the responses.
