    My Spider's eye looks weird
    Ever since Arnold shed she has a weird spot on her right eye. I thought maybe it a piece left behind from her shed but it kind of looks like a scratch. She can still see fine and all but it just bugs me, I dont want her to be unhealthy in ANY way. I can try to post pictures of it tomorrow if she will sit still lol but if anyone has any ideas what it could be and if I should worry or not I'd be glad to hear it!

    Edit: I looked at it again and it kinda looks wrinkly over that eye. I can't really think if anything else to describe it?

    It sounds like dented eye cap. Which can be due to low humidity. And if she just shed then it be safe to say the eye cap from previous shed is still on that eye. If not, mist the cage and it should be back to normal in few hours.

    Ok I'll mist it some more and see if that helps. If it is an eye cap from the previous shed should I remove it or can she handle it?

    If it is a stuck eye cap you will probably be fine leaving it be until she sheds again. One stuck eye cap isn't the end of the world, but once you start getting 2 or 3 layers it's not so good. If you do decide to try to remove it I would recommend placing her in a wet pillow case/snake bag for a half an hour to an hour, make sure you knot the bag so she can't get out. That should remove it while she is searching for a way out.

    I purchased this snake like this and soon after I put him into a tub with good humidity it fixed itself.

    Close but not that thick and cloudy, it looks like her normal eye.

    My snakes eye looked normal other than the cracks which went away not too long after his humidity issues were addressed.
