Update:
He is actually a she, they went ahead and probed her while she was under. They actually were able to save both eyes. Her left is really raw and bled a bit because they had to cut through it to remove it, so there’s a lot of trauma to her left eye but it will heal. She will be on eye drops for the next 2 weeks and has to go for antibiotics in 3 days.
They said there was at least 2-3 stuck eye caps, and confirmed that it happened over a long period of time, through neglect
anyways! I’m beyond relieved she gets to keep both eyes and can see now! The vet did warn me her next shed would be rough so she will need regular medicated baths when it comes to then, but tit for tat really if it means she can see.
It was cute to see her re-explore her enclosure, she couldn’t slither around fast enough to see what she’s been feeling this whole time
