Hi, guys haven't been on for a while had other stuff going on. But am back now with a question.
I have got this little 07 baby and i hadn't noticed it before but she shed about a week ago and i was checking her over and noticed her eye looks swollen. Just want your views on what it could be and does it need a vet visit? Sorry about bad pics she wouldn't stay still.
In all other respects she is fine, eating well etc.

That's what i thought, so did the old soak and let run through a towel routine a few time and if it is stuck shed its not shifting. If that's what people think it is then i will give it another go and see if it comes off

Ok now before you ask this is perfectly ok to use on your snake as i use it on the stuff that are usually hard to keep moist like rainbow boas ect  get this in any chemist
 now this stuff is called BROLENE it really is good just rub it on the eye and wait till the snakes next shed and it should do the trick

Could be first signs of a sinus infection or blockage.. Never had the problem before but saw recently a Burm with a mildly distended eye above the blocked sinus.. Vet vet vet either way I think 'tis easily treated
