Possible eye problem
I'll be taking her in to the breeder/store owner I know to see if she needs vet attention on Friday, but I also wanted to get some ideas from you guys and gals.
My little BP has been doing great, eating every single time (in fact I just upped her prey size to small adult), alert and cruising her cage at night. However, there are two weird things I can't quite figure out.
1) Her belly has had a pink tint, commonly associated with impending shed, for about 2 weeks now.
2) Though she seems to see fine, her eyes look cloudy under light and one eye looks caved in/dented/something stuck there on the top front curve. It doesn't look infected and hasn't changed appearances, it just looks like it caved in a bit or something got stuck. Sorry I cant get a pic, she won't hold her head still long enough when I hold her to get a closeup.
Since she eats like a champ and navigates her cage without problems, I'm not panicking about this. But I would like to find out and so am taking her to get looked at. If anyone has any ideas, feel free to shout them out. Thanks

Re: Possible eye problem
i have a male whos belly is always pink but gets more so when he gonna shed. sometimes its pink 3 weeks before or soo. as for the eyes just bump the humidity up a little its just a retained eyecap from the last shed or they are just getting dry due to low humidity. i have a girl whos eyes stayed like that for severalo sheds now shes fine though. dont worry about it. unless the belly scales start turning blackish or looking infected then hes fine.

Re: Possible eye problem
Sounds like she is going to shed soon and her eye has some dents in it from low humidity.

Re: Possible eye problem
You could test that theory and see what happens, or you could take it to a qualified reptile vet.
