Kelly is in deep shed.
She's been laying in her hide sort of 'breathing heavily' as though she was uncomfortable so I checked her for RI symptoms...absolutely none present.
I hauled her out for a complete inspection and she's had serious sausage butt for a week and has been laying in her water bowl frequently which is something she never does, not even when shedding.
One time, I caught her with her head totally submerged.
All parameters are perfect.
A check with a magnifying glass shows her totally mite free.
While I had her on the desk trying unsuccessfully to open her yap to see why her eyes look tiny/forehead looks 'swollen', in case something was going on inside her mouth, she started to dribble pee.
I quickly held her over the trash can and a huge, rock hard urate shot of her so violently that it sounded like a baseball hitting the side of the trash can.
I poked it with a pencil and it was utterly hard, crumbly and crunchy feeling...almost like a gob of compacted sand rather the usual toothpaste stuff.
She peed forever and then pooped a lot...and there was a smidge of blood which I wiped off and could find no more of.
What is causing her eyes to 'look little', almost as if her 'eyebrows' are engulfing them?

Even though she's really in shed, I had to poke her with a paper towel tube when I opened her house because she thought it was feeding time and was about to lunge at my empty hand.
[she is a greedy little sow]
I've never seen anybody else's eyes look 'odd' before a shed and hers don't look like they usually do.
Sorry for the lousy photos but she's a very adventurous, bold snake and she was thoroughly enjoying trying to crawl off the table, up my arm, around my neck, etc.
