I got back from a 4-week vacation on Saturday; I had my snakes with various trusted sitters. My 09 Borneo short tail shed while I was gone. He also had a mite infestation, but the sitter dealt with that really well, I haven't seen any since I got home. However, I have noticed something different. I'm positive he shed his eyecaps, but there seems to be a circle of something around his eyes.

I'm thinking either stuck shed or mucous. I took a peek in his mouth, looks absolutely fine. He does puff and hiss a lot (perfectly normal for a blood), which I suppose could actually be wheezing, but I doubt it. And in the RI cases I've dealt with, I've never seen goop in the eyes, just the mouth and nose.

Is it possible that he shed his eyecaps but not the skin around his eyes? I seriously doubt he has an RI, there are no other symptoms, and the stuff around his eyes looks more like skin than mucous.

I am trying to get some pictures, but it's kind of hard to see and he really doesn't like the camera. I'll post if I get any.

Any input appreciated.
