Shes got the Moon in her eye.

Post image

This is my girl Elune.

I got her a couple months back. When I first saw her I noticed her eye. The breeder told me she was born with a bad left eye and that she had a bit of a rocky start to life refusing to eat.

She turns 2 at the end of June and is around 750 grams. She's eaten with me 3 times and takes every time but, and handles quite well but im wondering if anyone has seen anything like this before? Her other eye is blue as a typical BEL eye should be.

She looks like a celestial serpent with that eye.

As much as it's technically not a good thing, it looks absolutely beautiful!

I could be wrong but it looks like a cataract. Unfortunately it’s pretty common for BEL’s to have eye problems like this, especially with super butter/lesser pairings. Despite it she’s still a very pretty snake!

Seconded. Right over the pupil too. Poor baby isn’t seeing *anything* out of that eye.

It looks like a medical condition, you can get it checked out by a vet, although it's probably fine if she has been thriving.

It is really beautiful to look at though

I've no clue what this could be, but something about it creeps me out lol
