    My partners mum has to baby leos. Leopold has not long shed but I noticed when I went out there the other day that he hadn't shed his head very well and had some shed around his eye. His eye was stuck together, so we bathed him and gave him some eye treatment that came from my local herp. His eye has cleared up but it still doesn't open very well and his eye has sunken into his skull alittle. His seems fine and is eating well. Do you think he will be alright?

    Like Tasha says, he seems alright but will it effect him in the long run? Or will his eye heal by itself?

    Make sure you've got a moist hide in the warm end of their enclosure.

    I've never had a single shedding problem with any leopard geckos when they've been provided with a moist hide box.

    You can see how to make one if you look in the leopard gecko section of the knowledgebase.

    As for right now, get a Q-Tip (cotton bud), moisten it in some water, not very hot at all, just body temperature, and moisten his eyes, and make sure he's got plenty to drink himself.
