Hi,

That looks wierd on a few levels.

Can you get a picture of his head (showing his nose from the top if possible ) and a picture of his other eye for comparison.

I'm thinking it might be either a retained eyecap or possibly an abraded and/ or slightly damaged eye.

Is he in a shed cycle or due to start one soon?

He only has one eye the guy that i got him from said that he was getting ready to shedn and thats why it looked like that i just didnt know if that is how its supposed to look. Im not sure how he lost his other eye.

the more i watch the snake the more i think that there is something wrong with him. He does not act normal i have never seen him coil up and he is not as firm as my other bp.
