I recently acquired
a sub-adult pair of Rhacodactylus sarasinorum that seem to have a build up of
fluid in their eyes causing them (the eyes) to become visibly distended.
The fluid is clear at this time and is not causing any noticeable vision
problems, but I'm afraid that the pressure in the eyes from this fluid will
eventually cause permanent damage. Since I have never worked with this
species before, I do not know what their eyes look like normally. Do the
eyes of this particular species of Rhacodactylus protrude more than
others? Is this some sort of bacterial infection or duct blockage?
Am I too paranoid for my own good (ok, don't answer that one)? The male's
eyes protrude more than the female's eyes, but all four eyes have this fluid
build up. I hope the picture helps!
