I am new to leopard gecko care. We’ve had our three for about six months at most. My male leopard gecko always has trouble shedding on his toes. I noticed him shedding last night and noticed three cuts on his head. This afternoon, we noticed that he couldn’t open his one eye. I closed him in his warm hide so he couldn’t get out (air holes available) for 20 minutes. By that point his eye was open again. My biggest concern is that he has the cuts on his head. Could he have done it trying to get the shed off or could it have been done by the other gecko (a female) in his enclosure? I plan on separating them soon but haven’t gotten around to buying her a new home. Our third gecko is also a female but we moved her a couple of weeks ago because she was being so aggressive towards the other geckos.
Another issue I have is that the male doesn’t seem to be able to see the crickets and misses them a lot of the time. I’m assuming he eventually catches them because his tail is fat and crickets do disappear over time. He definitely isn’t as good at catching crickets compared to the females. I worry that he is blind but when I took him to the vet she sad that his eyes looked good. Any advice would be appreciated.
