Whats wrong with the eye of my snake?!?! He did a perfect shed last time and he isn't ready to shed soon (not before 4 weeks ;p). Since I dont have a cam, I took a bp pic from another site and I modified it with paintbrush so you can see what im talking about. Its a "blue ring" on one side of his eye. I just noticed its covering 1/5 of his eye (its getting worse or what). It look like skin or I dont know??). I can see the eye moving normally so it seems to be something else? Here is the pic. Remember, it is not MY snake. Its a modified pic so you can see what im talking about. Please HELP ME :P.

Ps: No "go to the vet" (there is nobody qualified in my area)

my modified pic (look at the blue thing on the eye) ;p

Hi,

It sounds like eye caps to me, when he/she shed did the skin over the eyes come off too? If you still have the shed check it and see if there's too dome shaped patches where the eyes would be, if not then your snake retained his eye caps.

The best thing for that is a warm wet cotton ball just gently rube it on the eye tell it falls off which it will in a few days, if your not comfortable with doing that increase the hum and let it come off with the next shed.
