Shes high? Define big pupils? can we get a photo.

Pupils generally get larger when they need to take in more light, duno about herps though.

Look at some of the putdoor pics on here compared to the indoor ones, pupils definitely dilate in the dark, if the pupils arent changing with differing light then i have no idea what would cause that.

i have noticed on some of the more aggressive snakes i have kept that the pupils going from small to large is a sign of imminent pain lol, the big atb i used to own was a good example of this, she used to tolerate a small amount of handling but once you seen the eyes go big you knew the striking was soon to follow.

i only see my snakes pupils large when i shine light in their eyes. camera flash, bright room, ect.
i'm pretty sure his pupils take up his whole eye in this pic.

My hoggie's eyes will get big when she feels threatened...think it is something all animals do.
