Ahhhh!!! How could this happen??

So I know there are a million threads about dented eyes, but...
Tonight I come home, check all my snakes. Info first- hot side belly heat from flexwatt on a herpastat is at 89.7. Ambient is 81. Humidity is 63. She is in a tub, with a water dish, accurite thermometer, and two reptile basics hides. Fresh water every two or three days, no gaps in tub. I will absolutely guarantee that in the year I have had her, never a stuck eye cap. Believe me, I am anal retentive about checking sheds for eyecaps. I unroll and check each and everyone. She just shed July 6. Only thing different is about a week and a half ago, I moved her up to a bigger hide, which she wasn't really thrilled with for about 4-5 days. Soooo, if she smacked while investigating the new hide, will it be ok next shed? Should I worry? (I am already worried, she's my baby). What do you think? What would you do? Here is her set up, bigger hide is on other side-

Here is her eye tonight, I didn't notice it the last few days. Just tonight, maybe because the sun was shining in when I was checking her??

She seems fine, acting normal. Just ate on Sunday, pre killed small rat.

It's fine, a dented eye isn't a big deal. :P It will go away on its on soon.

I had a female normal with a dent in her eye. All I did was increase humidity and it went completely away by itself. No worries.

Thanks. I just worry. I am very, shall we say, obsessed, with eveything being right for them. Smacking it is from roaming with the new hide, is the only thing I can come up with. So will it straighten out shortly, or next shed? Never had this problem before. :confused:

It should sort itself out before the next shed. I would expect it to disappear within a day or two if your humidity is still at 60%.

We have actually been thinking about putting a few more holes in tub, because humidity has been close to 70 with water on cool side. Muggy summer has brought it up. So even if its a smack humidity would fix it?

Lick it. Seriously, when mine got a dented eye cap I had a strange urge to lick it, and it popped out :rolleye2:

Cute snake :)

Humidity has been between 60-70, can't imagine I want to go higher than that. :confused:

Lol :) I'm not afraid of salmonella, as it doesn't do much to people with healthy immune systems, and it's pretty hard to catch from a snake

So nobody would be worried about her eye?

I would only be worried if it didn't go away after she shed, or of it changes color

With proper husbandry, and clean animals, and proper hand washing, and no reptile things in the kitchen (cross contamination), risk is very minimal, actually.

Seriously though, WTH? I am not seeing things, I saw it, my daughter saw it, I took a picture. Fast forward what, 4 hours, hubby home, after dinner take her out to show him, I CAN'T SEE IT??? Maybe a teensy, tiny pin point of a mark. Like I have her right under a light and am looking for all I am worth, and can hardly pick it out. How does that happen??
