EMERGENCY! Eye issue, Please Help!
Hi everyone,
i just noticed my BP has some kind of "hole" in her eye.
Like when you push into a ping-pong ball you know ?
I'm freaking out.
It doesn't look like it's a retained eye-cap
Her eye really doesn't have a spheric form anymore.
Any advice or someone who already had the same problem ?
I'm trying to contact vets but the ones who are specialized in reptiles aren't on call.
I tried to take a picture but you can't see anything..
Thanks!

It's a retained eye cap, no need to do anything. Raise the humidity the next time your snake sheds. If you want you can post a pic to be sure, but I'm 99% sure.

Humidity is around 55%-60%, i raise it when she's shedding
last time was a bad shed though. I let her soak for 1h and everything came off easily when wiping with a cloth
checked her eyes and didn't seem like anything left on it.
Her next shed will probably be in 3-4 months.. can't leave her like that...

That is not a retained eye cap, it is a sign that your snake is dehydrated. Your humidity is still too low. What does your snake's setup look like?

What are you using to measure your humidity?
That is dehydration from low humidity.

I'm using a hygrometer

Should i just give her baths and humidify her tank then? Or is there something specific i should do ?

What type of hydrometer???
Please dont soak your snake. You will do more harm than good by washing away oils the snake produces to help itself shed.
Husbandry needs to be corrected first.
