One eyed spider. :(

So my last clutch hatched yesterday. Ended up with a spider with 1 eye. There was a yellow goo where the other eye should of been and now it has turned hard and brown. Anything I can do?? It is a super nice light reduced pattern spider! And seems to be wondering around ok.

Help. :(.

Probably a genetic thing, I've seen it before. I'd say he'd make an awesome pet :)

If he is doing everything else ok, I would say great pet too. Also f/t diet for sure.:gj:

He seems ok. Has a amazing pattern. Think it could of been incubator temps? They were almost always 87-89. Only one out of 14 eggs in 2 clutches.

Amazing! I have a preserved one eyed hatchling here. It died right out of the egg. Mine also has kinks, no cheeks, and minor skull deformities as well.

If you don't mind me asking, please keep me in mind if this snake ever falls ill, as i love collecting strange specemins like this. :)

BUT, here's hoping that he lives a long and happy life as well! Any animal with a missing piece just charms me so much! 3 legged cats? Heart meltingly adorable! WHY!? :D

Chances are the baby will be just fine. I have a female who was born with no eyes, just don't try to tell her that! This is her, but she's even bigger now.

Oh wow! I've never seen something like that before. Good luck OP! Looks like eyeless snakes can live long healthy lives!

buddy of mine hatch ed a pastel with eye but they were sucken and always in blue like shedde he, and the funny thing is he the best eater out of all the snakes. I think with snake with heat pits eyes seem to be a backup organ anymore lol .

i have never seen n e thing like that before thats amazing....

His face is a little smaller where there should be a eye. It's like a rough black glass eye. No other issues so far. Moves fine. Is not freaked out when I hold him. No kinks. Finds
His hide just fine. Still explores. Only time will tell.

The no eye snake is kinda cool! Lol

My sunglow boa only has one eye. He gets along just fine. I do have to be a touch careful not to reach in his tub from his blind side though. It tend to scare him if I do. It is the only time that I have seen him act aggressive. I would really recommend f/t for it if you can. Best of luck....:gj:

There is a video on youtube of a ball with no eyes striking and eating a live rat

Hmm sounds oddly familiar...

It does not seem to be a huge problem for them.

So he shed yesterday and I rechecked over him. Looks like he has a eye now! The hard black cap fell off!?!?! O.o It's small and sunk in but it looks like there is one there. I think I saw it move like it was looking around but the light wasn't the best. I will try to get a good pic this weekend in the light.

Strange. Maybe there was some egg goop on the eye?
