Hi, all i have noticed the past couple of weeks that Rambo has a shine on his right eye almost looks like a stuck part of a scale but it only covers about 30% of his eye and does not come off, wasn't sure if it was just a damaged part of his current scale? or just something that happened sometimes, looks almost like a jagged mirrored effect :S

Could be a small bit of retained shed on the eye cap

See if it comes off at the next shed

Sas has very black eyes but sometimes it looks like he has a coppery tint to parts of his eyes.

Probably just the eyeball under the scale. In certain lights and angles you can see the very small gap between eyeball and eyecap too.

Perhaps, I noticed the eyes clouding over a little today so perhaps a shed is underway

Strangely I was looking at Duke's eye today and it really looked like a massive dint in his eye-cap, so much I restrained him to have a look under better light and it was just his pupil from the angle I saw it. Retraining a 1.7kg Royal is not easy either he is so strong.
