if you just got the snake, he was probably in a dry enviornment prior to you getting him. raise the humidity, like we've stated, and everything will be alright. i promise.

Hey Dinger,
That would be a dent from a low humidity, yes kind of like a peice of retained eyecap (same deal).
Please do not stick anything like a q tip or solution in the snakes eyes, (no matter what you read off of the internet!, this is better left to be dealt with by a DVM). The only reason to actually treat such a thing would be if it has been dented or retained for a very long period of time.
Just up the humidity the best you can and it should go away by next shed.
Just my two cents,
Rusty

Every now and then Samsons eyes will dent, I keep his humidity at 60% and use the vitamin and hydrating drops in his water. It is not because he is dehydrated i think its more of bumping and rubbing his head against stuff while i am handling him. Every now and then i will notice a small dent in his eye, but then it is back to normal the next day!!

I wouldn't worry about it. His eye is not dented. Its the cap that protects the organ that bent due to lack of moisture. What are the temps on the hot spots? Make sure you know and don't guess. Bump the humidity to 70% and make sure you spot clean and change out his substrate on a daily basis(if news paper or carpet). It is nothing to worry about. Everyone learns with their first snakes. I know this because my little girl had the same dent on her left eye, just like urs,. Bump that humidity up and it will go away in a week or so :o

The humidity is at 71. The hot spot is at 89-91. for some reason when I wake up the hot spot is at 86-88. The probe has not moved.

It's most likely just a night-time drop of a few degrees, which is nothing to sweat over.
