He looks very healthy. I love rescues. I have two of my own. May a suggest upping his UTH temp to 90-92? You really do not need the overhead lights, room lightning is all they need. Have fun with him!

Overhead lights are good for heating though. Sometimes it's hard to keep temps up with just a UTH, and since they're only at 85 now with both, removing the light will likely drop it more. Plus then the ground but also the air stays warm. Though I wouldn't recommend using a night bulb that produces light, as that can be disruptive.

Congrats on the rescue by the way. He's adorable. :)

While a diagnosis can't ever be made over the internet, I have seen things like that before due to a vitamin A deficiency, which is quite common in leopard geckos. His legs look kind of puffy, too, though that could just be the picture. What supplement(s) are you using?

I think Exo Terra produces a few of them. Which one is it? Can you find a pic of the bottle? Most people here use Repashy Calcium Plus, which is an all-in-one supplement to use for every feeding. I like it because it's simple but also provides plenty of what the gecko needs.

Did they say how long it was like that before you got him? And/or what they were using to supplement with previously?

That doesn't contain any vitamin A, from what I can see. Here's an article definitely worth the read: Vitamin A deficiency in Insectivorous Geckos | Gecko Time I would personally suggest picking up some Repashy Calcium Plus. You won't need the Exo Terra stuff then. Just use it for every feeding. I wouldn't be surprised if the cloudiness was caused by a vitamin deficiency, and I'd be interested to know if it would be cleared once being given vitamin A.
