Expert Advice/Experience Needed

[BnK]

Hey,

I have had my leopard gecko for about 7 months now. I have a concern that I am worried about. My gecko has been closing his eyes a lot and he doesn't really keep them open for a long period of time lately. He doesn't close them all the way just partially and it seems more in one eye than the other. I checked on him tonight and he had been licking his eyes a lot!

I need some advice! Is something wrong with him?

Sounds like he has some stuck shed on his eye lid. Is your leo an albino?

He is a Mack Snow. I have looked on his eyelids and I can't find any stuck shed on them.

Oh, I dunno. Ignoring me seems more effective.
