    Not exactly sure about the eye as i am no vet and cant see it but i have found dented eyecaps on my BPs over the years and it was due to low humidity. Once they shed, it was fine.

    And my beardie pooped all over the nurses shoes and the vets table when i first took her in. She then jumped on me and ran up my shirt and hung on for life under my chin while peeking at the vet and nurse. Rosey also put the death grip on me when i took her to the same vet and wouldnt let them take her off me and when they did, she would bulldoze through them to get back to me lol. The vet made a joke, that i must take good care of my reptiles as they seem to love dad lol.

    But anyways, not to sound like a jerk but you need to relax with the snake lol. You are just nitpicking it to death. It's good that you are checking it over, dont get me wrong but you need to let the snake be and settle in and relax and eat and be a snake. I generally just mess with all my snakes probably 2 maybe 3 times a week. I do change water and check for poops and stir substrate and stuff every 3 days or so and always look in on them but i give them time to just be snakes and have their own personal time. Some snakes dont like to be messed with too much and it will stress them. And depending how high their stress level goes, it can manifest itself into them becoming defensive whenever you open the door, or they quit eating, or regurgitate.

    Personally, if your snake is eating, pooping, peeing and doing snake things fine, then i wouldnt worry. Take em out every few days, give them a check over, let them enjoy some exploring and enrichment and then let them be snakes in their cages. Some enjoy interaction more. Like Caesar for some weird reason LOVES interaction at night and will sit there by me while i pet him or will climb half on me and sit there. But during the day, i leave him alone. The boas seem to really care less if i bug them or not. You dont need to worry, you will have that snake for 20+ years so you will get plenty of time to interact with it lol.
