    Eye Dents
    I just got a new ball python from someone who couldnt keep her anymore, and she has dents on her eyes, at first I thought she didnt shed her eye caps, but then realized that they are just dents on her eyes, I heard that this would happen if the humidity was too low, if I increased the humidity would they go away.

    soak her to hydrate her and then raise her humidity in her enclosure

    Yes, it sounds like she is dehydrated. Raise the humidity, and you can even offer a humid hide as well. It should right itself soon.

    is it possible for a BP to get dehydrated if the humidity is between 50 - 60 % and they always have frech clean water? I ask this because one of my males had both eyes dented the other night. However my humidity was 56% in his cage. I sprayed him down and gave a few shots in the cage. i returned a while later and his eyes wer back to normal.

    I had that problem a couple times while using a tank. I found that the humidity inside the hide was WAY lower than that of the general tank. I added a humid hide and never had that issue again.

    One of my rescues, an adult female who is 5-6 years old, had dents in her eyes when I first got her. After a few sheds, constant 50-60% humidity and access to clean water 24/7, her eyes are normal again.

    my setup is a rack system, and i keep the room humidity between 50 - 60%, cage humidity always seems to be a little higher than the room.
