strange eye cap

saagbay Dec 08, 2009 05:22 PM

several months ago (dont know exactly when) i had noticed an odd "flap" for lack of better word on my ball pythons eye. not a full eye cap but it looksed like half ane eye cap got stuck. so i upped the humidity a little and waited for a shed. once she shed the "eye cap" seemed to be taken care of... potential problem solved... or so i though, seeing how its back again now, i still thing it will go away again with next shed but why did it happen again? anyone ever see anything like this? here are some pictures

Looks like not an eyecap, but her skin is coming up there. Not sure what'd be causing it, miiight be inflamed or puffy if it went away then came back again. When in doubt take her to the vet?
