Dehydration
This is what happens when your corns start dehydrating.
A very awful scene....but a good prove of what will happen.
This little male right now is still very active and eating. Hopefully it will recover since it is in shed right now.

That's disturbing. How did it end up getting so dehydrated? My fingers are crossed for a good recovery.

.... Man... good luck. I hope it wont be blinded or anything. I think this is a reminder to everyone to make sure you have the proper humidity and temps. Good luck... ~TR~

looks like a good old fashioned retained eyecap to me. perhaps a bit of infection, but hard to tell.

I agree with eyecap. When there is dehydration I always recomend pedialite (in the baby section of the grocery). Works like a charm.

I'll 2nd the Rev's recommendation of pedialite also & I have also heard of people using unflavoured Gatoraide as well. That poor snake needs a good bath & a nice damp box full of moss. Good luck with it. Mark I.

Yeah I think that Gatoraide should work good with him. He's now in shed (and he hasn't had a shed before he go so dehydrated. At frist his eyes were even worse....it was actually like flat......having a retained eye lid would not flatten the eyes....only dehydration would..)
But he is slowly recovering. I do hope that he'll get better soon~ I'll post some more pics later on when he recovers fully.
Thanks everyone and I think that it's a lesson for all of us to learn. Thanks for everyone's help!
