At first I thought the gecko looks like it experienced some sort of head trauma, but who knows...

That'll be cool (if healthy), if its totally different then the other eye morphs. Paradox eyes is a very well fitting name lol.

Thanks to all for all the input!

We'll find out in the next few days how much sight she has. She weighs almost 60g so feeding doesn't seem like it's been a problem so far.

Hmm...strange.

Well it looks like she's completely blind in her right eye. Yesterday was really sunny so we brought her out and while she was a little squinty with her left eye, her right eye stayed open and didn't seem to be bothered at all by the bright light. Her left eye only dilates about 2mm so I'm not sure how much she can see from it either. She seems to get around mostly by smell. I guess she'll be going back to Tremper. :(

Well, Tremper is sending us another female on Tuesday. He apologized for not noticing that there was a problem with her and asked us to keep her or place her in a pet home, so that was nice of him. I guess we have a new pet gecko for a while!

Mmm, mostly blind gecko, interesting. I wouldnt mind having a blind gecko, even if i had to hand feed it. Ive never met a gecko that i didnt like, except in the instance they poo on my laptop or rip the skin from my fingers.

Here's the replacement gecko -

She's VERY spunky and has two perfect eyes. We really like the circle at the base of her tail. She's 75g right now, I'm not sure of her age yet though.
