madagascar day gecko - grey film spot on eyes

[spacemouse]

Hey,

My day gecko has a grayish film developing on both of her eyes, slowly growing from the centre outwards. I cannot seem to find out what this is and I'm concerned. :!: Does anyone know what this condition is and what can I do to treat it?

Thanks

Gabriel

how long have you had your gecko? how long have you noticed this film growing?

i'm not expert by any means on this stuff, but my first thought was he is shedding. if so, just makes sure he has enought humidity and you should be all set.

film on eyes

She's been under my care for 3 months now, i rescued her from a pet shop where the male was overly dominant, thus he was attacking her. She had her skin ripped off mainly by the neck and lower legs(now its begun to heal, new "bumps" are growing in place,)

the film spots appeared noticeable about 2 weeks ago, and are growing at a significant rate. she had already shed a week ago, so i ruled out the shedding part. could it be cataracts? the colour seems consistent with "gray eyes" that you see with blind people's eyes (best example i could think of).

I''ve constantly kept her home misted 3-4 times daily, its pretty humid in there.

What do you think? :roll:

Thank you

Gabriel

ok, that blows away my theory. my advice is to take her to a vet that specializes in herps.

good luck and keep us updated.
