Well. My spider ball python came to me with a wrinkle on his eye which I assume is a retained eye cap or two. I have 3 other balls from the same breeder and this was the only time I ever had an issue so no blame to him what so ever. He gave me advise (even offered to take it back). I decided I wanted to keep him. I tried letting him shed normally the next shed but I had not realized my wife was turning on ceiling fans in the room that summer and it was drying out my rack. So another bad shed for him.

So since then I have had one good shed but it didn't come off. I tried soaking for half an hour in warm water. No luck.

He just shed last night and everything came off. The dent or crease in his eye cap is less than it was but still there. Is there anything I can do about that to help or have I permanently damaged his eye?

I really didn't want to mess with the eye besides a warm soak and letting him crawl through a warm face cloth as per the advise of the breeder.
