Yes snakes have two eyes, but they do not have eyelids. A spectacle, a transparent scale that is actually part of the skin, protects each eye. When a snake undergoes ecdysis (shedding if the skin), it sloughs this spectacle off along with its skin. Spectacles turn a light, semiopaque blue as the snake prepares to shed. Herpetologists call this condition "in the blue." This is normal, but snakekeepers who have never seen it happen before may mistake it for a problem. Immediately before the actual shed, spectacles again become clear. This means that the shed is imminent.
