Red eye with permanently enlarged eye!
So this is bizarre. Just brought this guy home and now that I've got him here, I see one of his pupils is enlarged while the other is not. I've checked on him several times and it hasn't changed.

Any idea what this is? Should I be concerned?

That is not a good sign... from everything I have ever heard about unequal pupils (in non-frogs anyway) it is a sign of head trauma/concussion. I would have him checked out by a vet. Where did you get him from and how did he come to you?Originally Posted by geneticdefekt

I picked him up in a wholesale purchase from Reptile Kingdom today. I've got others from them and they look fine.

I haven't heard of them, but I'm across the country from you. If not trauma then possibly disease caused, can't be certain on that though without some research...

Wow! That's really unequal. and I thought my whites had unequal eyes...it is okay if they are just slightly off, right? I always assumed it was just a flaw.

Can you load up another couple of pics ?
How is he acting? Eating? Alert and energetic at night?

I don't have any new pics yet but I will do that tonight.
I brought him home last night so he is it eating. I haven't seen him exploring yet but he's in the same general area as he settled into last night after introducing him.

I read that a slight difference (at least in humans) can be considered normal. Anisocoria - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
