new snake = problem

a month ago or less talking about getting a columbian, and i finally got it, but i have a question, on one of her eyes she has like a black spot. on one side she has a slit which is normal and on the other side she has a big black spot. it appears blue in the sun im not sure what to think..could she be ready to shed?

Do you have a picture of it? I'm trying to picture it right now but can't. Maybe she has a stuck eye cap from a previous shed?

I second Allison, it is probably a portion of a stuck eye cap. I would wait until her next shed and then if it's still there immediately visit a vet for a check-up.

However pics would be a plus!

ya but how do i post it..its a jpg?

go to www.photobucket.com make an account and then when you upload it, it'll show you a link with the [img][/img] tags. Copy that link and paste it here.

fixed for ya

My boa has a large dark coloration in his eye as well, which I think is from the coloration of this head because it follows the same pattern.

Could you perhaps post two pictures. One of each eye close up and clear.

thanks i appriciate it

sure...as soon as i get some batteries for my digi cam

DarkAngel do you think you could post a pic of your snake as well so that i could see if it looks similar?

(merged duplicate threads.)

well i took him back to the reptile store i bought him from and they said he just needs to shed again, its not a eye cap, (they said its too moist to be an eye cap) i'll have pics of my new lil guy soon..
