Just reading this entire thread with some interest. I know of no one who appears to grow their pythons as fast as I do, and yet in all my years of keeping I have never seen a snake get crinkley eyes from growing too fast.
As for Sdaji's comments that Blond Macs may be prone to this condition I think not. I have been breeding this phase longer than anyone in Australia and have literally bred thousands, yet SW's was the first one of my breedings to get crinkley eyes. This condition is normally caused by infections under the specticules, or if a snake is dehydrated. The eye fluids dry out slightly causing the speckicule to colapes. If it was a genatic defect they would be born with it, not develope it later in life.
In Sw's case, he has a snake going through multiple sheds. This robs the snake of fluids which it has to produce to keep shedding. I would suggest that the eye fluids have been slightly dehydrated by the constant shedding which caused the collape of the lens covers.
Sw has to look at the cause of the multiple sheds. Is it just a growth spurt. Is it a reaction to TOD. Or has he an infection in his snakes. As 2 snakes both did mulptiple sheds at the same time, I would suggest something agrivated their skins. Maybe the TOD or as Ncherps stated maybe a cleaning agent.
Remember all snakes are individuals and only a few in a collection may react badly to foriegn substances. Most may handle them, while a few may not.
