[QUOTE="Predatorhousepet, post: 332993, member: 10650"] I took some pics but imgur is acting up again and won't let me upload, I'll try to find another image hosting service. The left eye has a large black bulge while the right one has a less noticeable bulge but both of her eyes look misshapen, bruised, purple and swollen. I very much doubt she can see. She's already an adult so recovery by molting won't happen. She hasn't tried to hang inverted yet, just on the side of the glass. I was suprised to see she was even able to do that. She still won't accept flies but happily eats the bug burger slurry out of the spoon on her own without my help or encouragement. I put the spoon down in front of her and she bends her head and torso down to grab a bite then lifts her head while eating it which I see as a good sign because the first day she couldn't lift her head at all. I'm remaining optimistic for her recovery but also pragmatic enough to know that once they fall sick they don't usually make it. I've seen it too many times myself. I just don't have any experience with eye problems, first time for everything. It looks pretty awful when you compare her to her healthy sister and how her eyes are supposed to look. [/QUOTE]
