Eye coloration issue?

[snakeman]

A lot of albinos have dark spots in thier eyes.Do you have a better pic of it?

I can try to get a better pic... but she's tiny and fast, and my camera is slow and has a terrible focus.

The breeder told me she didn't have that dark spot in her eye before she was shipped out..

I hope she gets better . Shes so beatiful.

She could have gotten bounced around a bit during shipping. Hopefully it doesn't hinder her in any way.

That's what I'm thinking... I have a feeling she's just past the stage of "blue" where their skin goes back to looking normal.. but that her right eye retained the liquified state for some reason and that's why it stayed "purplish" I'm not sure about the dark spot.. I hope it heals itsself.. But it did look to me like one edge of the eyecap was starting to peel away, so I'm hoping all is fixed with this next shed. I know of plently of humans who have busted small blood vessels in their eyes, and they always have healed up to normal. I'm just going out on a limp here but that would be a great relief if that's all the problem is..

Hopefully her eye will return to normal, but if not I'm really hoping that she will continue to live a healthy happy life even if it means losing sight in one eye. I've know quite a few corn snakes born with only one eye that are able to function and grow quite well (:

well, like said, she should shed soon. That may just fix it.

Zara shed yesterday. It was a good shed, all in one piece, and included the eye caps and tail tip...


I fed her a F/T pinky head today and she took it happily. So her shedding and eating seems like good signs to me.

Her right eye id still a little darker and the black spot is still there, but the crinkly appearance has gone away and the overall color seems to have gotten lighter.

She's an active, friendly little snake, but she's not afraid to give me a little musk as well lol. She has never attempted or shown any signs of biting though so that makes me pretty happy (:

Sounds like things are going well for Zara.
Nice job.

Good news.

It's not uncommon to see a dark spot in the iris of an albino snake... I have many garters I could go look at right now that have it.
