    Help!!

    I am a newbie and was wondering if this was shed or injury?


    Sorry for the quality but like I said I'm new and want to take good care of my reptiles.

    The pictures are not that clear but it appears that you have a stuck eye cap, or maybe a few, which would be a shed issue. On top of the nose it could be either. Did it just shed recently?

    Stuck shed and eye cap. Bump up the humidity in your snake's enclosure or create a humid hide for your snake, and it should be gone in a few days.

    Looks like eye cap leftovers. Keep his humidity up for the next few days and see how it progresses.

    Well she shed but that one eye still has a little something on it. I think it might of been from feeding since I feed live. I watch until the mouse is not moving then I would leave them be and check back. Its not that bad and it is getting smaller so I think it is healing.

    It initially looked like a stuck shed and eye cap but it also looks like the eye is protruding a bit. So my question is did anything heavy fall onto the bp's head recently? The affected eye also appears to have a dent in it thus making me think inadequate humidity percentage? But if it appears to be getting better then just keep a eye on it (no pun intended).😀 Good luck and keep us updated!
    Stay in peace and not pieces.

    Thank you and no nothing fell. Just one day I noticed it. I feed live cause I had a young bp not eat for like 6 weeks. Every week I kept trying until she ate. I was so happy. I'll take more pictures later.
