Cloudy eyes?

mycolorfulheart · 03-04-2008, 09:43 PM

Tonight when I fed Raven I urged her out of her hut to make sure she would see the mouse. And her eyes were almost completely white! I think she's due for a shed, could that be the reason? I've never seen her eyes this way and the person who had her before me said that this happened to her after she got exposed to a cleaning solution once....of course I'm sure that didn't happen this time but could it be because of a harmful reaction to something?

cloudy eyes are usually the signs of shedding, i doubt it is anything bad

No, just sounds like she's getting ready to shed....her eyes should begin to clear and she'll shed soon after that.

Sounds to me also like she's preparing to shed

the eyes cloud up before the next shed....new scale forming under the old one....they will clear up about 2 days before the shed.

Don't worry your snake is fine! It's eyes probably look like this, right?

Thanks for the help guys! Yeah her eyes look just like that pic. I've been expecting her to shed for awhile because she's due, also she's been less active.

Must be the time of year....I have four of my snakes shed in the last two weeks.
