    Shed on Eyes

    My snake had stuck shed over his eyes (I think) then he shed and they wer fine. Now it looks like he has multiple scales over his eye instead of just one eye cap? What do you think it is?

    Re: Shed on Eyes

    I don't understand, you said that the snake shed and is fine... did you check the shed and see the eyecaps on it? If so, then your snake should be fine. If you didn't find the eyecaps, then your snake most likely still has them on and they will need to be removed.

    To remove them, you can try soaking your snake in lukewarm water for 20 minutes and gently rub the eyes with the end of a q-tip. You can also try placing your snake in a very wet pillowcase and setting it in his cage for up to 2 hours. Quite often the moisture and movement of the snake against the cloth will be enough to remove the eyecaps or any other stuck pieces of shed.

    It could also be dimpling caused by low humidity. Do you know what the humidity is in the snake's environment?
