    Re: Snake's eyes are dented/scratched, DESPERATE for help.

    Dented eyeballs usually mean a dehyrated snake. Looks like retained eyecaps to me. Grab a pillowcase and a washcloth. Dampen the washcloth, put the snake and washcloth into the pillowcase. Tie the pillowcase into a knot. Place the pillowcase into your enclosure. Leave it overnight. Open the pillowcase in the morning, hopefully everything will be shed and your snake will be a happy camper.

    If not, let everything alone and wait for the next shed. Add humidity when the snake goes into shed and keep it up until the snake completes it's shed.

    At that point everything should be fine.

    Don't pick at the eyes, don't use tape, just leave it alone. More people have caused damage trying to help a snake with retained eyecaps.

    Good Luck!
