I don't know the reliability of the source, but

Q: Help, My snakes eye has a dent in it!
A: Don't panic. This occasionally happens and can be attributed to the snake being a little dehydrated. Make sure it's got fresh water and a bowl that it can soak in. The dent should be gone with the next shed cycle.

Maybe worth adding a humid hide box to the enclosure so it can access an area of higher humidity..small tub half full of sphagnum will do the trick. Wink
