Update on Smaug My rescue.

[Ruvik]

I have some sad news. It seems that smaug is mostly blind with only being able to see shadows. I'm not fully sure if she is blind or not, but with her strange actions and crap skills at taking mealworms from my tongs, I'm starting to think she is blind. She is an albino so I'm not sure if any sort of light could be cause to her blind issues. She seems to move around her cage with ease, but I also never really see her walk around. often times I just walk by noticing her standing in a new spot. On the bright side she is healthy and feeding well.

Hmm, light could definitely cause her to have problems seeing if she's albino, and geckos do sometimes behave oddly in general... it can be difficult to tell if they have a true vision impairment or are just being weird. Even if she does have poor vision, she can still live a normal gecko life with a bit of extra help.

Well.. The reason i think she is fine is that when she hunts she is derp about it and 4-5 times she will miss unless I put it right in front of her face. Another thing is that I catch her star gazing a lot... but i'm pretty sure she doesn't have enigma in her. She also walks off the side of my hand if I'm not careful or any other ledges. I try to use as dim of lighting as I can when I have her out. She has a small bit of light during the day just enough to show her it's day time and no lights during the night. If you look into her cage though, she will stalk your face if you level your eyes with the ground. She truly is strange that one. I adore her though. I find all these little kinks to be rather cute.
