Small dent in eye

My snake just shed and I noticed a small dent in her eye. I search the forum and mostly everyone said it's due to dehydration and to raise the humidity.

I've kept the humidity around 70% for the whole time and she has had plenty of water, I must assume it was due to rubbing. So just keep the humidity high and her eye will pop back out?

Yep, that does happen from dehydration. It's not a severe problem. I would just advise spraying her enclosure down with some warm water. The dent will probably be gone by tomorrow, if not sooner. :)

Before leaving for work I pumped the humidity to 90%
Got home, it was down to 70% and the eye was nice and round

Is your snake kept in a tub or a tank?

glass tank

Have you done major modifications to the tank?
Tanks in general have a very tough time holding in humidity, I have never seen one reach 90% and even 70% is usually not attainable for more than very short periods of time.

A dent in the eye ball is typically caused by low humidity, when you say it's been 70% it makes me wonder what you use to read the humidity?

sweet :gj:

Typically eye dents self correct. Humidity has an effect on hydration but not fully for sure. They are snakes not frogs. ;) Give it some time usually it will correct itself.
