Yep. It's the khal defect. It has nothing to do with the shops husbandry

It's a genetic defect that cause the eye to basically wither and be useless.

Re: Red tail boa eye cap issues...
Wow, that's sad. Looks like he could be a real beauty of a snake too.

Re: Red tail boa eye cap issues...
Thank you all for the help. I'm not sure what I'm going to do now... Haha I still want him just cause I'm a sucker for animals with handicaps. But I'm not sure I could handle him once he gets bigger. Any tips if I get this guy? How does one deal with a blind, large snake? Or should I just stay away?
Seriously though, thank you all for all of the help you've given me.

Re: Red tail boa eye cap issues...
It will all depend on his attitude. I have a blind girl that is just sweet as can be.

Re: Red tail boa eye cap issues...
All I know is that he's a bit nippy. He previously bit the kid at the pet store when I asked to see him a couple weeks back. But that could have been due to multiple things, one being that the kid was handling guinea pigs just before and didn't wash his hands. -_-

My guess is he will settle down once outside of a store environment.
Also, even a laid-back snake can't be faulted for trying to take a chunk out of your hand if it smells like food. The one and only time my king snake even came close to biting me was after I had been picking Alaskan king crab legs for dinner, and even though I washed my hands afterward obviously there was still enough scent left on my fingers for him to try to chow down.
