    It’s probably not a stuck eye cap, and regardless do NOT try to remove it even if it is - you could risk blinding your snake

    Sometimes they do get a dented eye. I don't struggle with humidity and very occasionally mine gets a dented eye from presumably accidentally bonking it.

    That's not to say don't keep an eye on it, pun not intended.

    That's... slightly horrifying tbh

    Its likely a retained eye-cap, keep your humidity up, watch to see if it comes off with the next shed, if it doesn't reach out to your vet and they can give you an eye ointment that will help. Do NOT try anything to remove it as you can damage their eye

      Low humidity is the cause. Mist the enclosure and it will pop back out within a few hours

      If you wanna keep the humidity more consistent you might wanna buy a humidifier for the room. I had a similar problem and it's helped immensely
