I posted this on theroyalpython but had no replys so i thought i would try on here. I have noticed my male has one blue eye. its very milky ... is it possible for one eye to be in blue or could it be a different problem? |

You may cause more harm than good if you start treating for retained cap instead of an infection or other condition.
yeah i wasn't going to go poking around with it too soon anyway! he is such a nice active friendly snake so it doesn't seem like its affecting him much but i will see about going vet real soon! |

Could be a retained eye cap? |

If it's the front surface of the eye it will be a corneal problem - possibly just retained eyecaps or possibly and infection. If it seems to be in the pupil it could possibly be a cataract...
Sounds more like the former to me, and I'd advise a reptile specialist vet opinion. |
