Answer

Cloudy eyes in a snake usually indicate that it is about to shed its skin. This is a normal part of the ecdysis process, during which ocular scales become opaque for a few days to a week. Reduced activity and hiding are also common during this time. Ensure appropriate humidity and substrate to aid in a successful shed. If the cloudiness persists beyond a typical shed cycle (a few days) or your snake shows other severe symptoms, consult your vet. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
