A: Blind Lizard

I'm not sure how to help you on this one. Did you know he didn't have eyes when you bought him, or are his eyes hidden by the loose folds of shedding skin? A blind lizard can do pretty well, amazingly enough, but it will take work on your part.
I would wait till the shed is over before bothering him, but I would keep an eye on this if I were you. Please be aware that these gecks have dark eyes and the eye being covered during a shed is normal. Post again once the shed is over with more info for us.
