can you take a pic?

Without more information it is hard to answer. Has snake shed recently? Is it going into shed? What are you humidity levels and temp levels? How old is the snake and how long have you had it? As Chained said, pic would also help.

One sec ill post a pic, also shes 2 and yes she shed about 2 weeks ago and her humidity levels are about 30-50, i have had her about 2 months now...

Hard to tell anything from that picture. I'd raise her humidity to 50% - 60% and leave it alone. See what happens after the next shed.

the pic is really blurry...but pairing that with your humidty dropping that low, id GUESS at dehydration. my unexperianced advice would be to give her a nice soak in 85 degree bath, and try to get the humidity up in her tank some.

maybe dehydration?

Our caresheet doesn't make note of it, but I have seen it around.

Q: Help, My snakes eye has a dent in it!
A: Don't panic. This occasionally happens and can be attributed to the snake being a little dehydrated. Make sure it's got fresh water and a bowl that it can soak in. The dent should be gone with the next shed cycle.

Hope this helps.

try misting the cage to bring up the humidity, mine do it on occasion when it gets to dry. usually the next day it is fine and back to normal.
