Thanks for reaching out about Bowser and including a photo. Vitamin A deficiencies can lead to poor shedding, especially associated with the eyes. This can lead to secondary infections, pus production and the eyes being shut. The diet needs to be corrected in that the insects need to be gut loaded. Ophthalmic antibiotics and anti-inflammatories are recommended. A veterinary visit is needed for this. The veterinarian can review husbandry and diet, and recommend corrections. Good luck.
