    Rhea,
    Are the eyes fully developed on the one? Can the snake see? Those eyes look like the eyes on an albino. Pupils react to light?
    In any event a special snake.

    They are not just snakes. They're garter snakes.

    the way the eyes look is as though there are large clear domes filled with clear slightly pinkish liquid over what appears to be normal eyes. There is response to visual stimuli, and I believe the pupils are moving, although it's a bit hard to see exactly what's going on, given that my own eyesight is poor, particularly n the area of depth perception.
    Mikhaila is attached to Bugsy, so he (most likely he) is not available
    I have to say that they are looking nicer the second day, with some of the dorsal stripes turning a more glowy yellow
    I normally don't do this quite so soon, but because they're not mine they were offered food today - only a couple of them even showed interest; they do look nice and well-fed, so there's no urgency

    Amazing eyes! They look like rose quarts or amethyst cabochons!
    I have a 'snake' with similar eyes, but its a piece of jewelry!

    As an upper arm bracelet with gemstone eyes- I have one with Peridot eyes and the resemblance is uncanny- I'll have to try to take a picture.

    Nice looking babies. I also wonder the one will still look that way post shed. Hopefully it's just some fluid trapped under the old skin. Not likely but ya never know.

    Congratulations! It's a nice first litter.
    Sorry I can't help with the eyes, I have no experience with it...

    It is possible that it could just be fluid between the surface of the eye and the brille, in which case the eyes would return to normal when the snakes sloughs.
