Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Small eye in Ivory Burmese python
I got this beautiful girl a few months back. Had her for about a month before one day walked in to open her tub and her eye was shrunken. Thought it might be a low humidity thing, but soaking has done nothing for her. Thought perhaps it was after a feeding and perhaps the next meal would help, but she’s had multiple meals since then and nada. No stuck eye caps, her last shed was one big piece both eye caps off. I know ivory burms are prone to drop eye (which it looks like she has, but she was just straining forward during pics and exposed the white, don’t normally look like that.) But I haven’t had much success in researching small eyes in burms, though I feel like I’ve seen plenty of pics. Anyone out there that can help explain what this is?
Her humidity is around 60%, hot spot at 90 and cold around 79-80. I’ve had her on newspaper substrate since I noticed this.
All help and suggestions are appreciated!

Chances are she was born that way and you just didn't notice until now. I've seen a number of snakes that were born with one small eye. It seems to be a fairly common birth defect. I've seen it mostly in ball pythons and boa constrictors. I owned one snake who had this deformity, and I myself didn't notice until I'd owned him for a few months.
