Is he about to shed, or having eye issues?
I received my little male Bumblebee yesterday, and he came out of the box with milky eyes. This is my first ball, and I'm not too well-versed in snakes, but I know this is indicative of a shed to come. What I wasn't sure about, however, was the texture...his eyes almost look goopy, and have some wavy texture to them...they're not smooth. Is this something normal, or should I be concerned? Not the best pic...

Thanks in advance!

Can you get some more/better pictures of the snake? A picture of the entire snake would be helpful as well.
It looks like pre-shed blue eye, but it might also be a retained eye cap.

He might be in shed and dehydrated, but it's really impossible to tell for sure without an in-focus picture.

Are both of his eyes the same? Here's a pic of an adult normal we got last January, he arrived with a retained eyecap after being kept in a dry environment. Fortunately after soaking and keeping his tank at 70% or higher humidity, the cap came off with his next shed and he's ok now.

If nothing ever changed, there would be no butterflies.

he's definitely in blue. Bump his humidity up to 60%+ and wait to see a new skin!
