it is 2 and i dont know wat to do and i dont want to take it to the vet because of cost

Answer
Hello,

Do you have a picture of your gecko's eye?
Have you left any crickets in the tank with him?  Is the bump hard or soft?
It could be a cyst or an abscess.  I am concerned since it is so close to his eye, the infection could travel.  
Does he close his eye alot or does it affect his ability to see?  Is he eating at all right now?

Let me know how he is doing.
