Yes- both the BB male (2st gecko) and the female look to have eye infections. The male is worse on the right, but also on the left. The female definitely infected on the left. It is good that you are taking them to the vet. Make sure it is a vet that sees a good number of exotics- this looks like a fairly serious issue. And make sure they are kept quarantined from any other animals. They might have infectious diseases as well.

Good luck and thanks for taking them in!

hey a quick update - I updated on meds too - i took her to the vet today, dr. was very knowledgeable on reptiles... She gave her a good look and took a fecal - turns out she does not have parasites or ANY signs of infection.. Her case is from neglect and not having proper nutrition. She also never had a humid hide in her previous home!!!! She is blind. But does hav ea chance to get her visability back. depending on how she does once she gets nutrition. I am sooo pissed off that someone could do this to a reptile!!! UGH!

but the dr. said I'm doing everything right and I'll have to assist feeding with her probally for the rest of her life, especially if she remains blind.

The other two one is extremely thin from being gravid and not fed properly, but I got her jus in the nick of time. She doesn't have any real health problems other than being too thin (i can totally help her)

The boy, bell hybino, is fine. He jus stopped eating so I gotta get him eating but his weight is good!

So all and all its a pretty good day, I can help them all :)

So was it a long term vitamin E and A deficiency? Such a shame, but I'm so happy you were able to figure out what was wrong! The geckos are lucky to have you!

i think it was a combination of being gravid too many times at a young age, not getting enough food, not getting food that was properly gutloaded and not getting proper vitamins.. she said shes good on calcium but has poor nutrition or something .
