Those are not 'true' eye caps like most other non-eublepharid reptiles have. Those are a build up of old skin (not from the eyeballs) and puss infection.

Anyways I just thought it was interesting. Is this a common thing to see in leos?

I had to admit I giggled too.. For quite some time actually. Anyways, I'm not sure about leos, I know they usually eat their skin but I have had a corn snake that retained eye caps before. I have also never had a problem with my crested shedding either.

For those of you having fun with what I said, I meant it was an infection with puss! Geeze, folks!

Heh we know what you mean! The picture looks pretty bad, when something develops this are they permanently blind?

That is what my first leo looked like when I got her, just not as severe. She may have some vision loss but she can see well enough to hunt from a dish.
