Eye problem. Please help.

[darkangel212]

One of my leopard geckos is having some serious problems. She hasnt been eating in the past month and she has always had problems shedding and has never gotten any bigger since we got her about a year ago. With that she is having some serious problems with her eyes. One is completely black and the other is glazed over like she got some shed stuck in it or something and it got infected. She has been keeping her eyes closed most of the time so i just now noticed when she had them completely open. Here are some pics.

Can someone tell me what this might be.

It looks like an eye cap (from shed stuck in the eyelid). You can try to work it out gently with a moist q-tip, or have a vet remove it for you.

Are her eyes naturally black or are they normally a different color?

Also, if she's not gaining weight, you may need to get her checked for parasites.

It's hard to see what is going on with her eyes in such small pics, but I agree that a fecal analysis is in order to see if an excessive parasite load is impairing her growth.
