Dent in eyelid?

Tonight as I was handling one of my baby BP's I noticed what looked like a little dent in his eyelid. Now, my first thought was that he could possibly be going into shed and this is just how his eyes look? My other butter ball recently shed, and she gave almost no signs of it beforehand, other than rubbing her head on her rock hide the night before. No milky eyes... so my thought was he could be going into shed as well and these are just his eye caps preparing to shed?
Has anyone experienced anything similar? If so, did it seem to go away upon their next shed?
Thanks!

Dented eyes are a good sign of a dehydrated BP. Make sure his water is clean and never runs dry. Also, ensure his enclosure stays at the proper humidity level. As long as those things are in place, the dents will take care of themselves.

I've observed him drinking water on many occasions and his humidity is always at least 55%. That's why I was wondering...

Add some damp sphagnum moss to his hides. 😉

I've found that bumping the humidity up to around 56-60 has been better for my snake, dented eyecaps went away, and she feels as soft as butter. I live in the high desert and was finding that keeping it in 50's just wasn't working for her. She still drinks quite frequently but hasn't shown any problems after just bumping it up. I keep damp sphagnum moss in a corner of her tank, and sometimes before she sheds I see her laying in it rather than her water bowl.

Like everyone said bump the humidity up and it should go away.

Alrighty, sounds good! Thanks for the advice!

What kind of hygrometer are you using to measure it? Those analog/dial stick-on things can be way off.
