Actually in that first picture, the eye that appears to be bulging is the normal eye. It appears to bulge because the other eye has sunken in some. Actually, here's a close up of it's eye shortly after birth so you can see the difference. I'm pretty amazed myself, especially that it has some vision in that eye. I thought it'd be permanently blind.

I'll make sure to get it a separate cage soon. I'm playing musical caging at the moment, but once that's done I'll have a nice 12x12x12 exo for it, which considering it's size should be just fine.

Thanks!
