Hello guys, I've been lurking around these forums but have finally decided to register and start posting. I've recently added a female GTP to my small collection of reptiles and am very pleased thus far (this is her second day here). I've been warned of the difficulties of keeping this type of snake and have done a lot of research so I'm feeling fairly confident that I'm on the right track - and she seems to be responding well to her new environment.

I do have one question I hope to get a little help with. I noticed when I brought her home (yesterday) that her left eye pupil seems to be toward the far back end of her eye, as opposed to her right which is always in the middle. The closeup picture i'm attaching vaguely shows how far back the left eye is. That being said at night the eye seems to respond to light and will track a light (the pupil will more toward the center of the eye). Is this something I need to be very concerned about? One more thing to note, it doesn't seem like there's an eyecap from a last shed.

Thanks for any help and here are some pics (because of the resolution i'll just link the pictures)!
