Hey folks, right.... When I first got Sal it was only about 2 weeks until she went into shed and a day or two after her eyes cleared she dented one of them which I understood to be ok as it was the old outer eye cap. But when her skin came off her eye was still a tiny bit dented. Well when she shed this time (bout a week ago) the dent was gone, which is great. But she now has ANOTHER dent!!! Thing is she isnt coming up to shed this time so is this a problem? Will she be in pain or anything? She doesnt seem bothered by it at all and is still feeding fine.

::EDIT:: She has always shed perfectly, always in one piece including eye caps.

a tepid bath can help hydrate them as they absorb moisture through their skin (between their scales) alternatively add a damp hide or the occasional misting depending on how your humidity is looking
yeah as above. you could also may be add some of the electrolyte products to her drinking water. such as reptoboost. helps balnce thing out a bit. good luck and let us know how she gets on.

I think I missed this thread at some point. We keep the damp hide in until we see a skin left in there minus the snake. We use a rub with a warm damp cotton dishcloth in there. We wash the dishcloth every day and I think that the slight abrasiveness of the cloth helps. Have you resolved the eye dent problem yet?
