I think the white bit on the bottom is just light. The picture is taken without flash

Any ideas appreciated

A photo that was a bit clearer would be great if at all possible. That is unique looking though from what I can tell. The pic is a bit fuzzy. Do her pupils react to light?

Whether or not she is or is not blind wouldn't really effect her quality of life. Several members have blind snakes that have no problems feeding or getting along. Most notably, one of our members has a snake with no eyes!

Just looked at cross exotics picture post and the fourth picture down is exactly what i mean by having an eye slip, im starting to get worried.

when you say eye slit are you talking about pupils?

[jgras]

I have not seen if her pupils react to light, as i have not seen her pupils, its just black.

The black area on her eye is her pupil....

The whole eye is not black...

Just saying.

some snakes have dark eyes there are variations...try moving your hand in front of them and see if they react

[jgras]

I will try that (sorry about pupil mistake)

She's normal. Venomous snakes have slitted pupils like a cats. Non venomous don't. It's one way to differentiate between them. For instance if you have 2 snakes 1 is a rattle snake the other is a gopher. They look exactly the same, but if you look at the pupils you can see one is slitted. Thats the rattler. Stay away from it. The other is rounded go have fun but don't yell at me if the little stinker bites lol. Baby rattle snakes and baby gopher snakes look the same. The button on the baby rattle snake isnt really big enough to see yet and the gopher snake will thrash its tail in leaves to make it sound like a rattle thats why I used them as a comparison.
