Yesterday at petco i got two baby leos. They were kept on sand.
Then when i got them home they were just exploring the new place. Then to day when i was feeding them i saw a lamp on the side of one and the other one keeps his eyes for a little, but they eat well. What should i do return them or keep them.

Lamp on his side? Did you mean lump? Keeps his eyes? If they seem sick you might want to return them but alot of people wouldm't agree because they to be returned to the bad conditions but of course it's your money.

I think By "Lamp" you mean lump but I don't understand what you mean by "keeps his eyes for a little" please explain. Have a nice day!

I mean to say that one has a lump on his left side near his back legs and the other one keeps his eyes closed for a long time.

hmmm i quite dont understand the situation but it sounds as if your lil babies may not be 100% fine. sand can cause eye infections in geckos (it can scratch their cornea's etc). if they werent so tiny, i'd suggest flushing his eye with some lukewarm water, but baby geckos are very delicate and you'd probably do more harm than good. watch their behaviors carefully. if they are eating well, and functioning normally then i'd give them a few more days before you think about returning them. however, if you see danger signs, you may want to 1) return them or 2) call a veterinarian.
