Oddly Swollen Eye

I've tried doing a search but it isn't finding anything?

But I had seen a thread with a similar situation, the eye is slightly larger and the pupil is extremely dilated/gone making the eye totally black but not foggy and no gunk.

Aside from it not seeing well or at all through that eye, it seems fine.

It was a pet store rescue my brother spontaneously picked up, though I wish he hadn't, I will not abandon this lil guy.

He's barely 3 inches in length, 4-6 grams (tiny lil fella)

he eats aggressively, wagging his tail, so eating isn't an issue, his poo is regular, right color and all that.

He was housed with several others, my brother took home another with him who lost his tail, he too is fine aside from the regenerating tail.

We have a small but appropriate sized tank for them at their size and an UTH keeping temps at a good range of 78-88 paper towel substrate.

Any help, information, or link to the thread similar to this would be most welcomed.

those temps are too low for the warm side. For a tiny Leo like that your warm side should get no lower then 90...95 would be best. IMO

Secondly you should take the leo to the vet. It sounds very young and with a leo that age you do not have the liberty to do "research" on what something could be. A vet trip is warrented. Good luck with the little one.

agreed a vet trip just for a check up. could be any thing from just being the way he is to some thing really wrong.
fingers crossed for the little one
