    Ball Python Eye problem
    yesterday i looked at my ball python's eyes and it had like a crust and a white line at the edge, could this be an eye infection or she hurted her eye? its only on one eye, and in the middle there's a line but i don't know if its her eye line or a scar.

    If the eye looks "crinkly" then it's most likely a humidity too low issue.

    It definitely might be a humidity issue, or she may be getting ready to shed, in which case you would still need to bump up the humidity. It's hard to tell without a pic...

    somebody please ? im really worried can anyone tell me if i need to do something to treat my snake, i cant provide pictures today , since i got her in a very humid enviroment will heal by herself or do i need to hydrate her eye? is my snake gonna be blind? is it an infection?

    just the details again:
    her eye looks like it has a piece of white skin covering a small part of her eye and the eye also looked crusty but got better now when i putted water on her eye.

    Calm down.

    The little white edge is pretty common, I am fairly certain that it is just a little bit of stuck shed. Should go away with the next shed.

    Make sure your humidity is around 60-70%. Mist the enclosure if you need too.

    Ditto to what Kaorte says, Pics would help but the crust with white line tells me it's stuck shed/ retained eye cap. Their are ways on here to remove it but I would just wait till the next shed it should come off, By chance do you still have here last shed

    no this is not stuck shed else i wouldn't post about it. i have her shed and both eyecaps were removed during the shedding and her eyes were both fine after shedding. this happend yesterday and only one eye. i read somewhere on a website that that white line could represent an eye inflamation. will it hurt if i continue to put water on her eye with my finger? how can i know if she has an infection or an inflamation?

    I don't see how putting water on it will help.

    I remember other people having this same problem but I can't seem to locate the threads in which it was discussed.

    Edit: does it look like this?

    i am putting water on her eyes because somebody mentioned it could be low humidity , so i put water to hydrate her eye. yes the line looks like that but its on the oposite (the nose side of the eye) but the pic is not very clear so i can't see if that bp had his eye turn crusty( as in like her eye was drying, and her eye got smaller then the one on the other side) tough with the water its WAY better now but the white line is still there tough.
