Let me start over...I apologize.
This is my ball python. He had mites and have been trying to get rid of them. No I have not used PAM. I have used mineral oil and I have been bleaching his tub frequently...always using newspaper. I always provided a bowl to soak in if the mites returned...which they always did.

This last time I pulled him out to clean up the tank...I saw that thing on his eye. I tried to soak him. I tried to carefully remove it with mineral oil on a qtip. But I dont think it is a stuck shed. It looks KINDA like his eye socket got eaten up by mites (who love going for the eyes) and it got inflamed and swollen til it came out a little bit.

If nothing else...I would like for other people to learn from my mistakes. Hopefully we can figure out what this is...How to treat it...And how to prevent it from happening to other snakes! My gut instinct tells me it is from the mites...but since I have not found much in the archives on this topic...it remains a mystery to me.

Thanks so much for any help. Sorry for the confusion. I was using the search function before starting a new thread and that was the only other thread I could find with a similar eye problem...but noone knew what it was

The vet sounds like a good option right now, unfortunately.
If you are constantly having the mites coming back then why have you not allready ordered or bought some PAM? By you using the mineral oils and such you are only killing a small fraction of the mites.I looked at the pic once again and i am unable to see anything out of the normal.This might be because its a pic and you are seeing it in person.Please contact your vet ASAP.
