    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Weird eye mark?

Hi guys, hoping for some advice on my new albino western hognose baby. One of her eyes have an odd mark on the top (looks like it's on her eyeball) and I'm wondering if it's just an eye cap shed thing or if it's an eye issue. Or if it's a non issue, hopefully! It's a white curved line on the upper part of her eyeball. She's fine and active otherwise. Attaching photo. This is my first hognose. Please help? [emoji16] IMG_7238.jpgThank you!

Forgot to add some more details: She's not in shed, but I did just receive her last week so perhaps she had just shed previously. The other eye looks just like this one except it's all clear and doesn't have that mark on the top part of eyeball. My other snakes always shed nicely so I've never seen a retained eye cap before. Is this what it is? And sorry if this is the wrong place to post, new to forum!

Hard to tell what it is with the graininess of the photo. Doesn't look like a retained eye cap in any case. Is it on top of the eye or more across the iris? May just be odd coloring.
 
Thanks so much for the reply, i took some more photos! Hopefully this will be easier to see

It's starting to look like a circle on the top half of her eye and seems like it does cover the iris. Could be weird coloration I guess, but just wanted to make sure she's ok

Looks like it is under the cornea but over the iris. Not a coloration because it blocks part of the pupil. Very odd. Almost like a bubble? Does it move when the snake moves her eye?
