Hello my pet leopard gecko sunshine keeps closing her right eye while keeping the other opened at first i thought nothing of it till i thought it was suspicious a day after so i looked into it and i think it could be a piece of stuck shed in the eye cause she finished shedding 2 days before this started and im very worried as i want the best for them please answer this question as it worries me very much i can send a pic when i get the chance as it happens every now and then

she is def albino lol. Is it currently shut or somethin?
crystal walrus
Now
I actually brought her to a better place for me to get the pic so its clearer
quaint cairn
Do you have a uvb?
dire chasm
i wouldn't necessarily write it off being an albino thing until we see what they're actually meaning either
quaint cairn
ok so thats not why
crystal walrus
So different morphs can have different problems?
dire chasm
albinos can be light sensitive yes but in this case it sounds more like a health issue tis why i asked
quaint cairn
only lemon frost and enigma are morphs known for problems nqa
dire chasm
they need a slightly lower range of uvb (2-5%) then normals due to light sensitivity

dire chasm

I cannot diagnose or give medical advice as I am not a medical professional so qvq a vet visit doesn't hurt if it's worrying you / you aren't sure what it is
if it IS shed stuck in her eye then she does need to be seen by a vet
anything eye related should only be handled by a medical professional

Is it normal to see like a cloud in there eye
Cuz sometimes in the cloud i see my reflection
compact rain
nqa but id like to offer a suggestion for if its not a physical issue:
leos sometimes "sleep with one eye open" before they fully snooze, just to feel safer. so if youre noticing shes doing it while shes laying down or basking, thats likely your reason
crystal walrus
Ok
