Hi, I've never had a pet house gecko, but the swollen areas around each eye would be a warning for me that perhaps there are mites or parasites lodged inside or something of the sort causing a problem. Or perhaps some sort of a bacterial infection due to insect bites (if crickets are left in too long, etc).
Just some opinions, hope it helps a bit. -Karin >===== Original Message From "Alicia C.
