    From those pictures... it looks like retained eye caps... maybe giving the snake a spray or two of water each day will help? Or try the cuetip method (as noted above) I'm sure that will do the trick!

    Wouldn't the eye caps have come off with this new shed?

    Also, I've heard about what retained eye caps look like, but can you actually see the eye cap sitting on top the eye? If so, then it's definitely not retained eye caps...

    Maybe you might want to take the snake to the vet and spend a few bucks to make sure...?
