I am a happy owner of 2 Leo's today I got a new addition which makes 3. I have a male who is a little over a year old his name is Ami I also have a female who isn't quite a year yet her name is jelly bean and my newest addition is too young to determine the gender I decided to name it disney.

This is jelly bean my sweet girl! I'm not sure why her eyes look cross eyed any ideas? She seems to have trouble seeing also I have to help her when it comes to feeding.

A picture of one of jelly bean's eyes from the side would be helpful to tell if there's a problem.

As I suspected, she has a type of eye called "snake eyes". It's part of the eclipse eye morph. Eclipse eyes are usually solid black (or solid red in albinos, though they often still look black unless you shine a light behind them). I would imagine she can see fine.

Its nice to know why her eyes look that way thank you! But she does seem to have trouble seeing I've had her for about 5 months now and she has to have food placed in front of her mouth in order to be able to catch it. If I just drop something in front of her she tries to catch it but ends up snapping at the air around her as if she can't see it. But other than this problem she seems to be fine she's a happy go lucky kind of gecko!

I have a lot of geckos like that. One thing, she's an albino and they can be more sensitive to light. If you're not doing this already, try feeding her with dimmer lights.
