    Weird eye?

    Hey, so I got my BP out and saw that his eye had this weird thing at the back of it? It's not an eye cap cuz they both came off when he last shed.. His other eye doesn't have it tho?

    The skin around his eye is just a little stuck...keep his hydration up, it will probably go back to normal after a while.

    Yeah, I've seen that a handful of times through the years. It'll fix itself. Just keep your husbandry on point.

    From what I understand, it can happen if they push up against something and their eye rubs against it.

    Yup, as noted, it's NOT a stuck eyecap just the skin that connects the spectacle and skin has gotten displaced slightly.
