Here’s what happens when you don’t give your leopard gecko enough humidity!

This gecko came in with multiple layers of shed on its eyes and toes. The photos were taken after the animal was soaked and given a humidity chamber. It looked much worse before that.
It may or may not have eyes underneath the layers of skin. It will probably lose most of its toes.
We have given this gecko eye ointment and we are slowly trying to get the shed skin off without removing any live tissue.
This animal must be hand fed because it cannot catch its own food.
Update: The gecko ate a pinkie mouse and has been eating loads of crickets. It still must be hand fed, but is doing well.
