Just a couple more ??? What is your humidity level? Is your top partially covered to hold in humidity?
Re: why are her eyes like this if she has already shed
i dont know because the stores around dont have a humidity gage in yet they have ordered but not in,and the top is just covered by hardware cloth only.so i guess i would say its open.
Re: why are her eyes like this if she has already shed
First thing I would do is cover as much of the top as you can without getting close to your heat lamp. Then mist the cage a couple times a day, this will help with you humidity. Also get a rubbermaid container that the snake and a large towel or alot of paper towels will fit into. Completely fill the tub with the moist towels and put your bp in their and let it crawl thru the towels to get that old shed off. From the look your snake is having problems getting the old shed off and if you dont get it off it will cause problems with the new shed she is starting. Humidity will be your friend over the next week. Try to oreder a humidity gauge so you can keep tack of it and help prevent this in the future. If you need any help or questions you can also pm me.

You can get a digital Thermometer from wal-mart for like 15bucks. Check in the Home and Garden section for it. Its called Acurite and it measures both temps and humidity :) Are you using one of those dial thingies to measure the temps?
Re: why are her eyes like this if she has already shed
Ok to answer the question: If the vet has given the animal the A.O.K, and since mites, cuts and other things of that sort are not in the scene, I have to conclude that its the setup. A 55 gallon is kinda large for the snake with just two hides in it. Temps have to be 82-84 on the cold side and 92-94 on the hot side. Humidity has to remain between 50-60%. This is 24/7. Make sure that the tank is not located in an "high-traffic" area and that handling is limited as much as possible. I'm sure someone more experienced will correct me if I'm in the wrong :)

$11.88 for one of those fine handy dandy thermometer / humidity thing -a-ma-jigs. I just picked up another one today at Walmart. Works GREAT, just keep a bunch of AAA batteries handy. In the meantime, when in doubt, partially cover the top till you get a chance to run by WalMart.
Re: why are her eyes like this if she has already shed
its just a themonator thingy that came with the snake.no its not a dial type but i do know what your talking about.and i want to thank all of you for helping us out with this!!!thanks a million
