Dented eye

[ChrisBowsman]

I know that typically a dented eye means a retained eye cap.

Has anybody ever had a dented eye that wasn't an eye cap? I only ask because it's had to have been well over a month since the snake last shed, and I just noticed the dent today (I've been handling him nearly a month, if it had been there before, I would've noticed it.)

Dented eyes are due to low humidity, make sure you provide 50%50%-60% at all time (this mean having an accurate reading with a digital hygrometer)

Dehydrated a little bump up the humidity just spray some more..

Yeah dented eye is usually caused by too little humidity. Bump up the humidity and it will go away.

That totally makes sense. The other day, my humidity dropped from 55% down to 32%. I'm not sure what happened, but it's back up to 55 now.

Any idea what would make it fluctuate so much? Since I set up the tub, it's been totally steady until now.

My one guy gets a dented eye every once in a while. Ill notice it after he's been pressing his head up against the tub side or something.

I just spray the tub a few times and the next time I check on him its gone. His humidity always stays up above 50% too.

This morning, before she left for work, my wife asked me to go downstairs and see if she had the dehumidifier set properly. I gave her a funny look, and she said that the basement had leaked several days ago, and she'd been running it full-blast since then.

I think I figured out where the humidity drop came from
