My young cornsnake got something stuck on his eye and i had to pull it off. that eye looks like its not sticking out as much as the other eye is and it looks to be scratched. its also a bit cloudy. will this heal over if he sheds?
your snake DID shed, (not so long ago) and what you pulled off was probably an eye cap, which forms over the eye to protect it when it does shed! A lot of times the eye cap will not come off of one or both eyes when the snakes shed and if it happens to the same eye for several sheds in a row, it will get thicker and more noticeable... check CAREFULLY around the edges of the eye for any loose skin and if you see any, I would try letting the snake soak in a container with a little bit of warm water for an hour and then when you take him out, IMMEDIATELY rub over his eyes with a Q-tip. BE GENTLE and don't rub too hard!!! To avoid this problem in the future, when you see that your snake is almost ready to shed (the skin is getting really flakey) soak him for a few hours in warm water and put a good sized rock that is fairly rough in with him so he can rub against it!!!
Put it in a different container and put enough warm water that it covers its body but not head and put a wet rag in there with it. Leave it alone for 20 to 30 minutes . If it is his eye caps they will loosen and he will rub them off on the rag.

give her emo eyeliner and put her on a taffy stretcher.
anyways you could send her off to the circus and get some money off the mature 12 year old. i would pay for it :]
