I could be wrong, but I think this snake with cloudy eyes has shed its skin but the scales over the eyes did not come off. The reason I think this is that the snake’s skin isn’t dull. When a snake is ready to shed its skin becomes dull. When the scales over the eyes do not come off after shedding, the snake has retained eye caps.

I read that other problems could cause snakes to have cloudy eyes like infections, etc.

I’m not sure what type of snake this is and if you know comment below.
