What is this?? Growth on edge of eye!! Please look!

[Skiploder]

Ok, thanks Craig, she is on paper substrate so it's not likely to be wood substrate related, would an inspection of previous shed skins reveal a missing portion of that edge of eyecap if that was the cause? Also, is gentamicin sulfate ophthalmic solution a common topical antibiotic? I have this topical solution already, is there any harm in applying a drop in am and pm to see if there is improvement? Thanks for the quick reply

It won't harm anything - but it also may not help. Is there any swollen tissue you can see between the eye and the scale?

When that tissue becomes inflamed, oftentimes the entire ring of tissue will eventually swell. That's not the case with your snake.

When it's localized to one area like in the picture you posted and there appears to be no other inflammation, it could could be several things. The easiest to deal with would be a small piece of retained spectacle edge or something else that lodged in there. Those are things that can be manually removed or flushed out.

Without being able to physically look at it, I can't tell whether or not it's an irritation under the rim of the ocular scale or something else like a cyst.

While the gentamicin may help against the spread of a possible bacterial infection, if it's a cyst or other growth it won't do anything. the best advice I can give is to take the animal to a vet and get them to take a look.
