Answer

A cloudy eye in a snake, outside of a normal shedding cycle (where both eyes typically cloud over evenly), can be concerning. It might indicate an eye infection, a retained eye cap from a previous shed, or even a systemic illness. Environmental factors like low humidity or substrate irritation can also contribute. It's important to consult with a veterinarian experienced in reptile care to diagnose the cause and prevent potential vision impairment or further complications. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
