I have a major concern with my aft's eye. She had shed her skin on Monday of last week and hasn't eaten much since. Her right eye are she had a rough time getting skin off. Now I notice her licking that eye all the time and it is 50 percent open as opposed to the other eye which is wide open. Please help! Her cage is very humid so I don't think that is why she had a rough shed. Thanks in advance

Try to moisten the skin around her eye and either let her pull it off herself or assist her if she's still having trouble.

I know this is easier said than done, but if she'll hold still for you hold a warm damp wash cloth just shy of touching her eye. The warm wet will sometimes help loosen things up. My new girl Lilith has a gummy eye and I plan on taking this a step further and taking her in a plastic shoe box into the bathroom when I shower. With larger reptiles, (if you're comfy with it), you can even take them into the shower, just make sure to keep the soap and all away from them! The steam is like a hot day after it rains and can be just what the doctor ordered.
