Re: Eyestalks Gallery
Niko,
Keep an eye on that eye after his next molt, and snap another picture. It's likely he lost that eye and is regenerating it over many molts.
I have heard of this, where a hermit lost an eye, and over a lot of molts it slowly regenerated. It's an amazing thing, that they can grow new eyes as well as limbs!

Re: Eyestalks Gallery
Neunoeuil left eye almost looks sore too? I bought a hermie years ago (10) and she was missing her left eye and I didn't notice it until I got her home. (didn't have a digital camera then)
But with Foxy Lady's first molt it looked like a 'spec' of a pupil, and with each molt it grew a little more: (after I got a camera I began to take pictures)

and this is Foxy a couple years ago. I took these for CrabWorks:

She has her beautiful eye lashes too!
CrabWorks, mom of Jon & Kate for 34 years this August had Kate loose her eye to a spat with Jon. She is also starting to regenerate her lost eye.

Re: Eyestalks Gallery
Hi Marie,
yes neunoeuil has certainly lossen this eye some years ago, i've already seen some similar cases on the web. I've bought him two years ago, and regeneration seems to be a very long process. Not surprising, probably because eyes are complex organs, so they can't be regenerated in one molt.

Re: Eyestalks Gallery
The eyes are indeed a complex organ, and I wonder or very curious as to whether there is a way to determine if they regain full sight within the eye as well. I believe Foxy Lady can see from her left eye, and CrabWorks believes Kate can see as well. Can you tell on Neunoeuil whether the regenerating eye is a 'full' as the other, or if it appears 'flatter' as in Foxy's?

Re: Eyestalks Gallery
Does one eye smaller than the other effect them??

Re: Eyestalks Gallery
My Nemo has one eye kinda smaller then the other.
The eye on( your) left is a bit slightly smaller then the other. Not much of a huge difference , but when you zoom in , you can see the asymmetry
