    Ball Python Eye

    Hi guys, I posted about my enchi lesser a few days ago because I suspected a burn or scale rot, but apparently he's just about to shed. He hasn't shed in 3 weeks so I suppose the timing seems to fit but one of his eyes is bothering me. One of his eyes has this weird "bug eye" look to it. It's not swollen, blue, or anything at all, in fact he looks and behaves normally. At first I thought it could be a dimpled eye, but upon closer inspection, it looked like a scale pattern on the eye cap (like mini small hexagons on his eye). Is this still caused by humidity issues? Dehydration? I'm not going to mess with it, just wait until the next shed but I am still little paranoid as to what it is. Thanks

    Here's a link to a few pics. Sorry I couldn't get the best pics, he's always so hyperactive.

    In that pic it looks like he hasn't shed off completely. Try putting in a hide filled with moist sphagnum moss or upping the humidity so he can finish getting it off.

    Okay but his eye? It doesn't look like a stuck eye cap to me...
