need help with dent in the eye

[cmack91]

hello everyone, im not sure if this is the right section for my problem but i have a ball python with a newly formed dent in his eye. i looked it up on google and everything i found on it said its due to either retained eye cap or lack of humidity or both. the humidity level in his tank is about 65%, which is supposed to be high (from what i know), and from what i can tell he shed his eye cap last time he shed which was only a couple weeks ago, and after he shed his eyes changed back to clear like they always with new skin. i just noticed this dent today and he shows no signs of being anywhere close to shedding again, although i have noticed that he hasnt benn soaking in his water bowl since i got him a new one about a month or so ago. could this be my problem? the dent is triagular though, as if he bumped into a hard corner, he does like to burrow under the sides of his wooden hut, and he seems to really like squeezing himself through the tightest spaces possible whenever he can. any help from anyone is highly appreciated

what are you using to measure humidity??
Your humidity is too low

Eye dents are a sign of advanced dehydration. Soak your snake for 30 min in 88 deg water. Do this everyday for 3-4 days.
Watch your humidity. Recheck your husbandry

Like this-- NO

Like this--Yes

That is the only one close to what most of us use listed on Walmarts site. They do have one that has a remote probe to put outside while the unit s inside and that is the one you really want. You can measure hot side, cool side AND humidity all in one unit

the NO is the one i have, do you know about how much those other ones are?

If your snakes eye is indented or cracked your probably dealing with low humidity as mentioned
Tanks unless modified rarely achieve anything close to 65% humidity unless the humidity in your area is high.
Get yourself a probed thermometer with hygrometer and you will feel better knowing the temps your reading are a bit more accurate than those frisbees errr dial things...

will do when i can, i just sprayed his cage down some, and yes the humidity is high here since i live near seattle WA

You should soak him. I had a bp do this and as advised by my vet to soak for a minimum of 30 min every day for 3-4 days, this level of dehydration can do damage to their internal organs, mainly the kidneys.
