    Puzzled about Foggy Eyes



    This is the freebie Mojave boy I picked up off a Facebook buy and sell, the couple bought him for their daughter but didn't have time for the snake and hadn't handled him in months so they decided to give him away. Other than foggy eyes, he seems to be in good health. The eyes are puzzling me though, it doesn't really appear to be stuck eye caps (to me, at least, maybe someone can confirm that's what it is?) but I don't know what else would cause this... He doesn't appear to be dull or looking like he is going into shed at all and he's been the same for about two weeks now. It's hard to get good pictures of his eyes, I tried my best, haha. Any thoughts?

    Re: Puzzled about Foggy Eyes

    It's hard to tell if its caused by retained eye caps or not. If you can roll the skin around the eye and see a lip of an eye cap, that would be a tell tale sign. When my boy had stuck caps I put him in a ventilated tub woth warm spagnum moss (my go to remedy) and he got them off after about 20 minutes. It's also possible that you have an odd ball (pun intended ) with strange eyes.

    Looks like you're just talking about the stripe color that continues across his eyes.

    I'll check for the lip tonight, thanks for the tip! I'm waiting to see if it'll change at all after a shed, whenever he decides to do that. but the odd ball thought had also crossed my mind too, haha.

    No, his eyes are foggy, I'm not talking about any pattern that runs through his eyes. Sorry, the pictures don't show it very well. The picture that shows it best is the first one.
