The anxiety kicked in the moment I left.

Some good news, the eyes are not infected there is no liquid inside the caps. My hygrometer is bad I tested it and sure enough it is about 40% off got a new one fixed everyone else's humidity. They are applying a cream to the eyes because they are dry.

I got the snake back today, and the doctor checked for any retained eye caps and that he thinks that mites might have caused a infection because I had a mite break out that is okay now about 2-3 weeks ago. He gave us a cream to rub on the eyes every day for 10 days.

So it did end up being an infection? Good thing you brought him in. I hope the antibiotics work out for him.

Me too, there may also be some damage to the cornea but we won't know until the eyes clear up.

Just letting everyone know that the bumblebee shed out and the eyes are clear now. I got her to take two mice the first week I got her back from the vet. After her shed she took a rat pup.

Glad everything turned out well :)
