- Please briefly describe the problem and how long it has been going on: it appears that she has a puncture in her eye, and she cannot see out of it. It also looks like a small rip in her eye were the little hole starts. Her eye looks very glassy and teary, and a little bit swollen.

Describe Diet:
A) Typical diet
- What you're feeding (how often, how much): I usually put about 40 mealworms in the feeder dish in their tank every night
- How are you feeding (hand fed, left in dish, etc.): I occasionally hand feed them, but most of the time I leave their food in the dish
B) Supplements (describe how often)

- What are you gut loading food with: I gut load the mealworms with ground up oats and I mix calcium in it.
Sparx is a Snow Bell Enigma Leo, she has enigma syndrome, and she has what looks like a small puncture hole in her right eye. Starting at the little hole it looks like it scratched all the way down her eye. From what I think, her tank mate, Freya, may have stepped on Sparx’s eye and her claw may have put the hole in her eye and scratched it. She seems to be in pain and when she walks around it looks like she is blind. She fumbles around her cage with no sense of direction, and she has the right side of her head turned up in the air, so it looks like she is trying to walk sideways. Is there anything I can do for her? Should I take her to the vet to see what they can do? Please help!!
