    Ball python eyes

    I just got this ball python from someone up the road and it's eyes seem wrong. Is this a cap that didn't fall off or low humidity indicator? Other? Appreciate the help!

    I can't really tell, although either way bumping the humidity would help, since it doesn't look like the shed is going well.

    Looks perhaps dehydrated to me... I might be wrong though. Maybe provide a tub of water in the enclosure big enough for the snake to soak in?

    I would definitely bump humidity up to at least 70%

    You should also try and soak in some lukewarm water and help pull the skin off

    Else, waiting until next shed cycle should do the trick. When I first got my snake she had stuck shed but once she shed for me the first time, all the old skin came off
