New ball python, something odd in her eye
Hi, I got a brand new ball python(my first of her kind ahahah), she is a she, I don't know the age, but she's 54cm so I'm thinking it's a 1-2 month hatchling.
I was examining her yesterday or the day before, and found a little something "weird" in her eye. I don't know if it's normal "pattern", the rests of the last shed, an indication that she is shedding again(her skin looks "blueish" when looked from the sides, light effect that I've associated with shedding as it happens with my nigrita just before shedding. I would love some input on this matter, I'm worried it could be something bad that might affect my snake's health.
Do note, however, that the snake is fully reactive, usually on exploring mood, takes ball shape when taken out of the terrarium and goes into normal snake "mode" after a minute or so. She doesn't look like she can see on a single eye, has no problems navigating, etc; a healthy snake in whole. The only thing, which I thing is normal is that, for instance, when I put her in my bed, she goes to one of the edges and starts going down slowly, if I let her, her body weight will make her fall, same when she's crawling on my arm, but my nigrita did more or less the same when he was a few months old.
Oh and she is more docile than a puppy, let's me handle her any way I want, even gently touch her head and first centimeters of her neck, without going all "panic attack" on me.
Some pictures, including a closeup of the eye:

This is the best picture. Check the eye on this one and you'll see what I mean:

PD: I accept name suggestions .
Thanks for your time.
