Eye Issue

[artnic93]

My leo appears to have what looks like two knicks on each eyelide, almost like a deformity or like something took a little bite at him. Is there any chance that one of the crickets I left in the tank could have nipped the one's eyes? Maybe this explains the squinting.

It can be seen the best in the piture attatched.

One common "deformity" in leopard geckos is notched (or sometimes missing) eyelids. From the picture, it's possible yours has a very mild version of this. I doubt the squinting is because of this; they just squint sometimes. If the eyes still look clear at this age and the gecko is able to find its food and eat, it's probably not significant.

That makes sense, and he/she can close its eyes well. Just has that cricket issue, mealworms on the other hand...its a pro. xD
