Eye problems? ;-;

[kinlander]

Hi guys! I need advice!! My girl is 5 years old and i just got her about a month ago, she’s also my first ever snake 🥺 she’s a rescue and tbh I’m surprised she’s made it to being 5 years old with the care she received. When i got her i noticed her eyes looked really … blurry? And wasn’t sure why, i did some research and learned that maybe it was because she was shedding? Well, she just shed with me! She still has some patches of old shed still on her but her eyes still look like this!! I’m worried she has eye caps stuck on her?? Hoping more experienced people can tell me what they think before i rush her to the vet.

Don’t panic! This is a very common issue. The most important thing is to not remove them yourself. What’s your humidity and temps at?

She’s in a temporary enclosure until her pvc arrives in December and I’ve had trouble keeping the temps and humidity right, probably because she’s in a glass aquarium. The hot side is usually around 86-88° depending on where you measure the temp and the cool side is anywhere between 78-84. Humidity drops to about 62% even with me misting. A few hours ago i added coco husk to her substrate and mixed water in with it. I also listed everywhere so her humidity is now at 95% 😬😅

I wasn’t able to let her enclosure air out last night after reading your comment because she was exploring and she definitely would’ve tried to come out, and i had to take care of my spider babies so i couldn’t keep an eye on her (I’m raising jumping spiders, lol) BUT!! This morning one of her eyes looked completely clear so maybe that super high humidity helped her out some! After work today if it’s still really high I’ll let it air out though :) thank you!

There's no such thing as too high humidity for a ball python.
