Leopard gecko blind?!?!?!?! 
i have a leopard gecko i just got today its a tangerine and i think its blind? I might be wrong or just paranoid, hes about 4-41/2 inches long, i put in a bunch of crickets for him because he hasnt ate today and he was somewhat interested but hed go for a cricket kind of slow and then just lose it and turn around, or hed kind of snap at one that ran by and just ignore it after he missed, is it because hes blind or just not interested? The guy i got him from did say he fed him yesterday but im not sure if he eats everyday or not is he big enough where he only eats every other day or so or should i try food that doest run as fast?

Wow thats lucky, mine was active and was climbing all over me when i took him out of his moving container but i tried to feed him the same night and he didnt want nothing to do with them, are leopard geckos clumsy? Its one of my first leopard geckos, the other 3 that i got as a trio are fine when catching crickets but this guy isnt as smart, he always misses, but today hes atleast trying harder to get them, still randomly bumping into stuff, i think he might be half blind, but as long as hes eating he will be healthy and ok right? I just dont want to see him suffer if hes going blind, i also plan to breed him next year would that affect anything? The guy i got him from was stupid enough to use bright heat lights, and i never knew heat lights made thier eyes go bad so i switched the bulb to a black light for now untill i can get another heat mat, luckily i spent the extra 10$ and bought a heat mat for the other ones just by luck.
