Can Someone Help?

[Will Walker]

I was hoping somebody could shoot me some links to helping me figure out this problem. My adult leopard gecko isn't able to open either one of his eyes. They've been shut for a few days now, I tried gently opening them myself but no dice. There isn't any built up skin or anything around the eyes, temp and humidity haven't changed at all since I got him. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

You can try putting a drop of clean warm water on each eye by dipping a (clean) finger in warm water and dripping it on the eye. If that doesn't work, there may be an infection and the gecko really needs to see a vet.

Sterile saline may also help if gently dribbled on his eyes. Not opening eyes is not normal and I would be worried about him if I were you. A vet that is actually able to examine the animal will be able to help you more than the general advice you'll get from folks on a forum. Arav.org is a great place to check to find a qualified reptile vet in your area.

Should be seen by a reptile vet if he still isn't opening them
