    Just took the mojave to be euthanized.

    I came home and found his eye POPPED out!
    No, I don't know why. I'm so freaking upset right now. I had to euthanize the two hatchlings due to deformaties, and then today Jarvis.
    He was the only one of my mojaves to get any size on him too, so I was hoping he'd be able to make me some neat babies, and now he'll be dead.
    What the heck did I do to pee in the Powers that Be wheaties?!
    I'm so sick of all of this, I swear. It's so unfair, I spend half my free time cleaning and feeding and checking and adjusting temps, and getting quality feeders, and I feel like I've been killing snakes for the past months.

    Re: Just took the mojave to be euthanized.

    Do the vets know WHY it popped out? Isn't there some sort of parasite that can cause popeye?

    Aww Theresa, how awful! I wish there were words that would help but there really aren't. Just a horrible situation. I hope things turn around soon for you, you've had far more than anyone needs to deal with lately with the snakes.

    Re: Just took the mojave to be euthanized.

    Could the vet not just remove the eye and stitch it closed? They can live just fine with one eye.

    Regardless of what you feel is the best thing to do (you're there and I'm not, so I have no idea if my thoughts are useful)....I wish you all the best. I'm still feeling like a schmuck for losing my dear Kisasa...and it wasn't even my fault. But still...she was ultimately my responsibility and now she's gone....so yeah.....even when it's out of our hands, I know how much it still hits hard.

    I am sooo sorry -- what happened to eye - why did it pop out and why couldn't they save the snake?
