Crested Gecko Eye Melanoma

[Salzy]

I can definitely see the darker coloration to the eye and just an overall "odd" look to it. It's interesting to see another one with a very similar issue. Does the pupil stay that size and shape at all times?

Yes. I've tried shining a flashlight in her eye to see if the pupil expands or contracts at all, and it does nothing. Now that I've had a little more time to watch her behavior, when you say that yours experiences a head tilt, mine gets "shaky". She's really hesitant about where to place her feet. She raises her foot up to place it down somewhere, but she feels around by lightly wiggling her foot around the surface before sticking it down. She looks kind of like a chameleon when she walks.

Hey guys,

My crested gecko has just started to get the eye problem you are all talking about.

About 2 days ago I noticed that it had started to go cloudy, now the eye has sunken in. It looks so sad

When I hold him he always turns his head so the good eye is looking at me. So the only thing I can conclude is that that eye is now blind Then again, im not a vet.

Do any of you have an answer to this?
