i know what i need to ask
Ok well heres the story, One day in early august i went to the closest reptile store to me. It was close to my bday and my wife thought it was a good time to get me an early birthday present so we go in and i see that they have 1 more rtb and since all i had was a BP i wanted a RTB bad! So we go looking through the store they had all kinds of beautiful snakes but i really just wanted this RTB, but heres the catch..The snake i noticed when they let me hold him had blue inside of his eye so i just thought it was an eye cap from a bad shed or something, and they confirmed that as well. So even to this day its still blue inside his eye.. Could there be something really wrong? is he blind in this eye? I do not have any pics of it at the moment i dont have a camera good enough to get what im talking about. has anyone ever heard/seen this before?

Re: i know what i need to ask
It sounds similar to something I have seen just recently for the first time. Does it look like, kind of just a swath of blue color floating deep inside his eye itself? If so, I would guess that yes, the snake is probably blind on that side.
Please understand that this is just a guess. Without seeing it in person, noone can answer with 100% certainty what the problem is. I'd recomend getting the snake checked out by a vet both for its physical well-being in general and to figure out what that might be.
