    Weird Pink Crescent Over Eye

    My ball python just shed 2 days ago (perfect shed, all came off in one piece) but when I took her out today, I noticed something pink that's covering the front like 10% of her eye. It looks like it might be inflamed skin from an injury or something, I'm not sure. Any ideas?

    Here's some images I tried to take, it might be hard to see it.

    Hi,

    It's the bit of skin linking the spectacle to the rest of the snake skin - sometimes it gets pulled out a bit during the shedding.

    Keep the humidity slightly higher than normal and it should go back in the socket naturally.

    Ah, okay, thanks. I had actually never seen that happen before.

    It's been a long time ago, but I've personally seen this on a snake...it resolved itself in time.
