Ok so the light in that tank is a All in One? What are the wood chips? I recommend you get rid of them - they can cause impaction--- or worse if they injest a sharp piece causing internal injuries- you can go w/ some textured NON adhesive shelf liner-- cut to the size of the tank it's cheap and insects can't get underneath- you can get it at your local home improvement store- please post pics of his eyes can't see him very well

Here are the photos of him
The one on the top is a heat lamp and the other is a UVB light.

The UVB in the tank is a ? Brand and bulb T 5 or T 8? Is there a reflector on the fixture? I am wondering if the UVB is too close and causing issues

There is no reflector on it, but we just flipped it to where it is facing down and he is right under with a mouth slightly open. We have the same set up as the other two and they are doing just fine.

That is the only thing I can think of that would be causing eye issues- are you feeding crickets and if so in the tank---? What about the basking bulb? How far is it from him? Is it just one eye or both? He is obviously in distress w/ the black beard

He is definitely in distress. His fat pads are depleted and eyes sunken as you said. He has a full looking belly which is a bit odd. A vet visit is definitely in order. An x-ray would help determine blockages and blood work would help find issues with failing organs.

He is taken out and fed superworms, it’s both eyes and now he is hissing at me, his beard is lighter, but is acting super weird now.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
