I just brought this one home today. It's got all the standard shed issues- eyecaps, many missing toes, even a chunk of tailtip that hasn't shed in who knows when. I'm just nursing it back to health and then educating the owners on proper care. I am hopeful, since it doesn't seem to have MBD and I can one pupil. The eyes are going to be the big focus, and everything else should be downhill form there.

Anyway, here she is. Poor thing... Wish us luck!!!

Wow Kevin, she looks rough. Her poor toes and tail And the eyes............. it looks infected. Was she housed on sand? Her belly looks swollen. Take a look at this story, it will give you hope http://www.geckotime.com/sick-leopard-gecko-recovery/

Good luck with her!

I actually was just in the chatroom discussing her eyes a bit. That pic looks worse than it really is, I think.

I just spent about 15 minutes getting all the shed off, and as far as I can tell both eyes are clear of old shed. Maybe more stuff will be apparent once they dry out a bit. I'll post more pics within a couple of days to update.

Update so far... all shed off=happygecko Her eyes still look bulgy to me. I don't know if it's from having all that shed in there for so long, if there's still some behind the lids or if she's one of those frog-eyed geckos. Whatever it is, its a first step.
