Hello,

Can you possibly post a couple of pictures for us, that sounds very strange to me!
Has she ever had any retained shed on or around her eyes before?
You can get some sterile saline solution to try & rinse out her eyes first to see if that
helps.
Do you have a loose substrate in her tank, such as dirt or sand that could have somehow
irritated her eyes?
What are the temperatures in her tank & what type/brand of UVB are you currently using
for her?

No she had never had stuck shed before on her eyes. Yea we have play sand and organic soil in her tank, we’re using the brand zoomed 10.0 tube.

Hello,

Wow, that does look odd. How long has her eyes looked like this? Are they both in the same
condition?
I am not sure what in the world is going on. It looks like a catarac to me, or some type of eye
injury perhaps. Is there any way you can get her to a vet for a checkup?
Are you able to get food into her right now?
The Reptisun 10 tube, is it the T8 or the T5 high output tube?
Let us know how she is doing.
