    Rescue snake!

    I just rescued a ball python, not only is this my first snake but she was in bad shape. I think she is a year old, and the previous owner told me that she is blind in one eye. I don't know if humidity was ever monitored (I kinda doubt it). She was really thin and in the middle of a shed(in some spots it was obviously two sheds worth of skin) so I let her soak for about an hour. Most of the old skin came off, and she was willing to eat and had no problem locating food. She is at 67% humidity an her eye looks like an eye not a scale (like it used to). Is there any chance this is a dehydration issue and not a blind issue?
