Is my ball python blind?

[Machetelopez]

My ball python has been shedding for the past two weeks and I noticed her eyes looked weird like scaly I've raised the humidity in the tank to help it out with the shedding process. But I noticed it's eyes look the same what can I do?

They eyes will turn blue for a couple of days. Then they'll change back to normal. Usually 36 to 48 hours after they change back, the snake will shed.

Dents in the eyes, like the one in the first pic, are usually a sign of dehydration. You need to get that humidity up for her.

Your humidity is low. How are you keeping it up? What is your setup?

Agree looks like she'll shed soon and yes get the humidity up, my BP had the same problem with the eye dent when I first got him, the store I bought him at never really had the proper humidity in their displays. Also his eye caps didn't shed the first time but a few weeks later he shed a second time and it was a nice full shed, no problems after that, will need higher than normal humidity during sheds.

She may be about to shed again, but she looks like she has a full stuck shed to me or is dehydrated. When mine go into shed they don't look that wrinkly and the only time I've seen that was with one girl who's humidity was too low and she had a full stuck shed. Her left eye also looks like it might have multiple retained eye caps too. I would put her in a damp snake bag or pillow case for a while and see if any of shed comes off.

Ok thanks guys what's a good way to keep up the humidity?

[Machetelopez]

I have a 30 gallon tank with aspen, a half log in there for her and bowl with water, I spray it daily to raise up the humidity is there a better way to do it?

[Zach Cedor]

cover two thirds of the screen top with saran wrap and increase the size of your water bowl also do you have a hygrometer to keep track of the humidity?

[KMG]

Change to cypress mulch, its better for holding humidity. Then using foil tape to cover the majority of the screen will help as well.

You need to get different hides that only have one door. Add moss inside and keep it moist during a shed. This will create a humid hide and help your snake the most since in its hide it spends the most time.

I was having major humidity problems in my viv and I bought a secondary water bowl, sphagnum moss and a spray bottle to mist. Digital hygrometers are a life saver as you can accidentally live in ignorance about how low humidity is (like I did when I first got my first BP) Much easier to monitor humidity with digital equipment
