    Cloudy eyes...?

    Ok, Herbert has really cloudy eyes...like as if he didn't shed his eye skin....and the top of his head is like raindbow colors...it looks kinda like when you pour oil in water and it makes that colorful look on the surface..should I be worried or should I just wait it out and see what happens...? Could it be from just being caught and the stress of being made to live in captivity?

    Thanks,
    Kevin

    Sounds as though he's due to slough?

    To slough=To shed his skin.
    Is he looking pretty dull and drab?

    They are pretty cloudy....like I can barely see his pupils...and over the last couple days it has gotten worse...so he probably is going to slough then.

    Yeah, it's just the slough coming on, don't worry. After a few days the eyes will clear and then the old skin will come off.

    And, no he actually looks pretty vibrant, but im still a beginner so maybe its not as brilliant as he could be and that he is going to shed.
