I just recently received my new hognose Wednesday. When I saw him he had only one cloudy/blue eye and I assumed he would just shed soon. I planned on putting him in his cage and leaving him alone for a while, a week most people recommend, to adjust. The breeder had asked me to try to feed him, however, as he had missed feeding day with shipping. So I did, but he did not eat.

Wednesday night my snake burrowed and remained burrowed until this morning(Friday morning). I noticed that he still only had one cloudy/blue eye.

I waited to get a better angle so I could see if something was wrong or I could get a picture. I finally decided I think the other eye looked smaller? Ultimately I decided to ask your opinions on if his eye is okay. It looked so tiny compared to his other eye, I thought it might have been a shedding injury or something. I wanted to make sure!

(This eye seems normal to me just cloudy/blue)

Huh, I have a hognose with almost the exact same thing. It's never affected her and remains smaller as she grows. I can see her eye moving when I'm holding her so I don't know what's up with it.

Thanks for the response! I contacted the breeder as I was still worried after no responses and he told me not to worry but if he was not eating or was having any vision problems to let him know.

I haven't had any problems and he has taken two meals and had a shed since I've made this post :)
