Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Leopard Gecko eyes look fine, but blind, toe loss, and spots
Story:
Tank is a 10 gallon. Repticarpet, water dish, hot hide, moist hide, dish with herptivite and calcium powder, and decorative plant are all that's in it.
Temperature is around 85-90 in hot hide. Used to have 2 heat pads because winter is very cold here and it would get to high 90s. Cool side is room temperature, which is high 60s.
We recently got shed off of our Murphy's patternless gecko's eyes. They seem to be clear now, they look bright, but they have a dark black rim around them between the eyelid and eye. Our gecko only reacts to big objects' shadows moving, and seems to bump into things a lot
He also lost 2 toes on the front from shed. I soaked his toes in warm water and gently got the shed off of them, but two if them have black nubs at the end. Will these heal themselves?
Tail is fat, fairly active.
Has four dark spots on his back, like freckles. Not sure what these are, but they haven't seemed to bother him.
There was shed stuck around his mouth near his eyes from the stuck shed on his eyes. but warm water got that off. Little bleeding from the edge of the mouth.
The top of his head is slightly cloudy, could this be stuck shed or a fungal infection?
Gecko used to have MBD, but this was cured with supplements
Questions:
I am wondering if he has an eye infection, or parasites. Perhaps the freckles are parasite symptoms, and thats why the eyes look ok but he is blind?
Should i purchase terramycin eye ointment, or will vitamin a supplements or Flukers Repti-aid do the trick?
Is this a genetic thing of Murphy's patternless morphs?
I thought the sunken in eyes could be from dehydration and overheating, so i removed a heat pad so there is only one under the hot hide. I gave him some water from a syringe, which he then proceeded to pee a lot immediately, so maybe not dehydrated?
i am purchasing Flukers repti-aid and Zoomed Shed aid to help so far.

It's hard to give any prognoses without photos. Please take photos and upload them here.
