So it looks like an eye cap to you? It could be, but based on his last shed, the caps came off fine and the snake shed in one piece so I'm not sure humidity is the issue. I can give it a try, though. No harm in it. I'm going to bring a temperature gun and some digital thermometers in on Monday and see what I get. I'd love to be able to take him to the vet, but the class budget most likely won't cover it.

Oh, I should mention he got out a little while ago (I found him behind the furniture) and was probably out for at least a few days, most likely a week or more. From what I've heard, the problem started before that, though. Not entirely sure because nobody really kept track of when this eye problem started.

Are there any other ideas on what the problem could be?
