    Shedding issue(eyes)
    I posted before about her. When I got her she already had a burn on her belly so I was aware it was going to be a difficult shed. Everything was finally off but the eye caps. My question...eye caps finally came off but her eyes look blueish now foggy sort of. Is this normal?

    She may be going into shed again or there is an infection but I doubt it. Eye infections should make the eye grey, not blue (in my experience). One stuck cycle of eye caps shouldn't cause an infection. If she has an injury, she may shed more often to fix the damage. Also, have a stuck shed on any part of a snakes body may also cause them to shed sooner then usual. Also, if she is growing at a fast rate, again she may have a back to back shed.

    If you can tell she is not in shed but still has blue cloudy eyes, the only thing I can recommend for you is to take her to a vet.

    Oh my god...so I look at her eyes they do look sort of blueish...will try for a pic later ...trying not to mess with her much...its feeding night...so then...I start looking for a vet...I can't find even one exotic vet anywhere ...I live in the Biloxi area of MS if anyone knows of one please let me know...even if it is just another shed coming on, I will need a vet...now with 2 snakes
