    Could you give a picture? Not much we can do without a pic.

    If the eye has a dent in it, then it is due to dehydration and the enclosure needs more humidity. It is pretty common problem for them to have dented eyes, since people keep them in screen tops that dry out the humidity.

    If you can't sort out how to upload a picture (which would have to be close up and not blurry for anyone to tell) then can you describe the humidity of the cage?

    Also has your snake recently gone through a shed?

    What is the type of substrate you have and does your snake burrow in it?

    I agree we would really need to see a picture so either through the tapatalk app or if from your desktop computer, upload it to imgur.com then once uploaded, highlight your mouse over hte image and click the down arrow so it offers "get share links" then select "BBcode (Forums)". Copy that link and paste it here.
