I can not find a photo and the red fox eyes seem wrong. Any one know for sure? Thanks

The black, or silver fox is a red fox. It's just the melanistic phase. The eye's aren't going to change. The same eye's that go into a red fox go into a silver.

Just in case

you need a second opinion. Coyote is right, the eyes are the same as for a regular colored red fox. No difference.
