    This happend to me a while back, however i dont think that it was from dehydration.

    Is there a possibility that your snake is going into shed?

    I found rite before my snake went into shed his eye cap dented, i wasnt sure if he had hit it off something ( endless amount of possibilities . )

    So i waited it out and about 2 days later -- perfect shed -- perfect eyes.

    A bit of writing...
    This has happened to Sophie a couple of times and just the other day to Smitty. All times it was just before a shed. Smitty is currently in shed (his eyes are 'blue'). Sometimes it is due to low humidity and I find if I bump it up a bit it goes away. I freaked out the first time it happened, but it usually only lasts a little while (not even a day). I would just keep an eye on it and maybe bump up the humidity a tad.

    Try bumping the humidity up and give your snake a bath
    let him soak in warm water for 10 minutes
    should fix it no problem

    i bathed him and upped the temp and the dent is gone and yes he is in shed

    BTW his eyes were blue on friday and now they're not is that an issue?

    upping the temp wouldn't help
    the eye dent would come from dehydration, so for future reference doing something that would help increase the humidity inside the enclosure would be more beneficial.

    Eyes clear up for a few days before the snake sheds. Perfectly normal.
