Thought you might be interested in seeing a photo of Jareth (wee-eye) I am presuming you know the story of his bad eye, any way this is over a year on, he was bred by Lauren in Oct 2004. If you don't know I will let you know the story. And another, you can see both eyes in this one.

We got 2 gargoyles with wierd eyes, they were from different clutches and unrelated. In Jareths case her clutch mate was normal, the other was a single egg laid, the only thing that linked them was they were incubated at the same time, but as I said different parents, the temps did go up to 90 deg, but that was only a couple of days before they hatched so wouldn't have thought that would make any difference as surely the eyes would already have been formed at that stage.The other one had a funny pupil, hence the name Bowie.

strange, I did hatch out a leopard gecko with one eye that is tiny (10 times smaller than the normal eye).

I was thinking temp, I have seen it in the past with lots of snakes, I had an incubator fail on me and had about 5 - 6 clutches of snakes all hatch (or dead in shell) with tiny eyes, kinked spines and all manner of defects.

I'll try and take a photo of the leo.
