usually dents in eyes are because of a lack of humidity. do you know what humidity the cage is at? -Juggalo

Yup, usually means the snake is dehydrated....

Usually, correcting the humidity level will fix this problem at the next shed. Sometimes it doesn't though. I have seen a few very well kept snakes that just keep producing dented eyecaps.

My little "humidity Igloos" are working great! They spend quite some time in there, and within a few days I had three perfect sheds (one piece) and no dents on the eyes. They also seem to be eating better (maybe feel more comfortable).

I will add a pic in a few minutes...

Here we go :



Now, the heat pad is under the right side, the center is the igloo with Ryoko in it, and the left side is cool and water. [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]
