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!
