My first suggestion is for you to immediately stop housing all the different species together. Each species needs its own enclosure.

Are you sure that isn't damage caused by something else?
It looks like the actual eye ball is deformed.
It looks like the actual eye ball is deformed.
thank you... it's not permanent damage?
well i am not sure for you your self what do you think because i want to buy it any suggestion?
It just looks like the third eyelid to me.
One can't predict the future, but I hold out hope that with treatment it will be ok.
what is third eyelid?
It's that white bit coming out from the inner corner of the eye
wkwkwk thank you
yes why?
Im not trying to do my expert here but it is common knowledge that tortoises must not be raised on a piece of cardboard...Is there substrate somewhere else in the enclosure? Also as Yvonne said species should not be mixed and they look extremely crammed in there...
well first of all its not mine hahaha but i think its juat a play time cage their cage is much beter
thanks for your help
You should ask your friend to come on here. I see some issues with the tortoise tank. Those rabbit pellets are not good for any tortoise especially not a sulcata. We may be able to help your friend and point out some things that he/she might not know.
actually he is an old indonesian tortoise breeder. i will try to ask him to come to this group
update.... my friend said if this ivory eye actually are not damage because of the bulb but he said it comes like this from baby.... me my self start confuse with this.... btw any suggestion is this ivory just got blind eye or even disability of other body system
first of all it's not my ivory... i want to buy this ivory soon but before that i want to ask you guys what is happening with my ivory tortoise the seller say he bought it from HK and since baby this ivory got eye damage..... no my question is.... in your opinion this tortoise only got eye damage or even another inner body part damage respiratory system digestive or other

Don't buy it. One should always look for bright, shiny eyes, and active tortoise that you can see eating readily. If he'll give it to you for free, it would be ok to take it, but you don't have any reassurance the tortoise will be able to see and eat, and it may die.
