    something wrong with eye
    this is the same snake who had the red belly before its shed....
    she now has whatever this is around her left eye.

    i tried looking at the shed she just had and it was too stuck together for me to see if it might be a stuck eyecap...but i didnt see this on her eye when i checked her out after she shed....

    In my opinion, she will be fine. I think its just like that cause of the shed. I wouldnt worry.

    Could be a bit of leftover shed stuck around the eye, I've seen similar things on my snakes in the past, and she'll either rub it off on her own or it will come off with her next shed.

    Don't try and remove it!

    it looks as though the bit of skin connecting the spectacle to the rest of the scales has got pulled out slightly during the shed.

    If it had been a retained spectacle there would be rough, torn edges to it - but that is smooth and complete.

    Ditto what is said above. Just leave it alone and it will come off with the next shed.

    thanks alot, yeah to me it does kind of look like a snake eye socket which made me really concerned... i didnt know that could happen just beacuse of a shed....scary.
