updated pictures of my snakes eyes, they look worse (couldn't edit last thread)

[BP Tim]

My co workers who also own ball pythons says that my snake is going to shed soon, and that her eyes are normal looking for a snake about to shed. She hasn't shed for me yet and I've had her about a week and 3 days now, the pet store didn't say when her last shed was so.. could this be the case?

No, she's not in blue. She doesn't look hazy enough through the body to be in blue. And it's been more than a week anyways.

alright, well I'm hoping once she sheds again, she will be alright. if she ends up being blind It won't matter as long as I can give her a normal happy life

She is not blind. Her eyes look like that because im betting she was kept in an enclosure with very poor humidity! I have seen this before in a few balls that I have rescued. Make sure you keep up proper humidity levels and after a few sheds her eyes will go back to being clear and shiny! It does take awhile though and it takes great discipline to keep the humidity at a constant level! Good luck and she is a beautiful girl!!!

Aww the boa is super cute. How old is she? Also to the post master if u are really worried about your little one a vet visit wouldn't hurt. It's always good to have a piece of mind. Good luck with your little one. And Congrats on the new family member.

She's 3 years old and 7lbs. Maybe 2 years old in the picture (I tried to find one that showed her eye the best). And thank you, she's just a normal but will always be one of my favorites. Very sweet girl

well I have an acurite temperature/humidity reader now from walmart and put it in.

The readings I'm getting are 91-93 hot side.. and its a little low on the "cool side" at only about.. 77-78.. how do I raise that temp? the humidity is also reading 50--55%

Leave the snake alone - and I read your other thread - stop giving it baths. I don't care what you've been told by other posters - baths are stressful.

All of the obsessing over the snake is neither good for you or the animal - as is evidenced by the fact that you were recently discussing euthanizing a perfectly healthy animal. The low side temps are fine, the snakes eyes are fine.

You've now seen first hand the gamut of answers that you get when you post a picture of a perfectly healthy snake. Keep the temperatures in the right range, give it a humid hide, keep it's surrounding sanitary, stop the damn baths and relax.

I am with skip on this one. Humidity isn't a huge issue humid hide and it is solved. Easy. The snake looks fine.

no offense but that doesn't help.

I had a corn snake die, after two weeks, where I did everything right, so a little paranoid and a few extra questions isn't hurting anybody.
