    One of mine had a dented eye for about three days. Upped the humidity and it filled back out. I would agree that dented, crinkly eyes are not normal.

    Beth, the difference between seeing the structure of a snake's eye under many times magnification compared to the normal visual appearance may be great (though quite honestly I've never needed to examine an eye in that detail, I'd leave that to my vet). However, when a member is asking about how an eye looks they are generally speaking about the outward appearance on normal examination.

    A normal BP eye is clear, bright, not dented in nor wrinkled. Conditions like impending shed, dehydration, retained caps will change that appearance and often indicate some issue that needs addressed (other than the normal shed cycle of course).
