Woodhouse's Toad: Eyes Half Closed

[tgampper]

Thanks for including the habitat notes, they are very helpful. First, the temperature is too high for this species of toad, the ideal is around 68 degrees (F). The humidity is also a bit high. Toads have thick, warty skin which allows them to live in dryer, cooler conditions. I don't think there is anything wrong with the eye. What you see is the nictitating membrane which makes the eye look cloudy. This is a "third eyelid" or covering that protects the eye from dust and the effects of dry air (kind of like eye drops).

He's still closing that one eye. It looks glossy with gunk today. Just gave him a bath.
should I let him back outside after/if the eye gets better? The house is too hot and stays 80 in the summer. :c

If it gets better, letting him outside would probably be for the best. Even if it doesn't, frogs can survive with one eye.

If you do keep him, maybe try a fan to cool the area.

Oh dear, that doesn't look good. If he's eating that's a good sign though. It means maybe he's not so far gone he's just given up. Keep us updated please

He refused to eat for three days and turned dark. i let him a few days ago outside in a hide. He looked better (if it's him) when j saw him yesterday! he was near the same hide.
