Cloudy eye

[jay_coward]

Hey guys, its been a while since I owned and axie but I bought one today. I didn't notice until I got home that his right eye looks clouded over. Does anyone know what it is or how to fix it. I'm guessing he can't see out of that eye at the moment. Other then that he is in perfect health. I don't know if this info helps but the pet shop was feeding him meal worms. I took him home with bloodworms instead although I havn't fed him today cause he's already eaten. So, cloudy eye, anyone know what could be going on?

Thankyou all in advance

It could either be an eye infection caused by a scratch or maybe it's just blind in one eye? I know it's probably going to be reaaaaally difficult because mine doesn't stay still long enough, but could you possibly get a photo of both eyes for comparison? If it seems content then I wouldn't worry too much, obviously just keep a look out for any bigger problems that may arise :happy:

The following thread is for newts but I'm sure it could help you with the problem your axolotl has (eyes are the same after all!)

Thanks for the answer. He does sit still for me but my camera is really bad. Just by looking at it you can tell the difference. He doesn't seem bothered or irrititated by it so I'll keep a close eye on it. If I had to guess I'd say he could just be blind because it doesn't look like fungi is covering it which is what I first thougth. Thank you for the reply.
