Stuck eye caps?

Siarah,

Wrinkled eyes are usually a sign of dehydration and low humidity. Do you use a digital hygrometer? Make sure your humidity is high enough, especially once he goes blue and you know a shed is imminent. Otherwise, you might end up with a bad shed and stuck eyecaps even if you don't have them already.

Probably the best solution as far as being quick easy & inexpensive is to buy a plastic tub and set her up in that.

Are you having trouble maintaining the proper temps & humidity in that big tank? If so, I'd definitely ditch it. If not, since I am assuming she was in there the first few months you had her and she was eating ok, you could try to get her feeling more secure in her big home, if you wish. Add lots of stuff in that big tank to make it feel more secure to the snake. BPs don't like big open spaces; they'd rather be cramped. So try adding in a few extra hides and then fill the rest of the empty space with something like crumpled newspaper or fake foliage.

I painted the sides and the back of the tank black last weekend, and put a whole bunch of drift wood and fake plants in with her you think that will help?

It wont let me attach photos
