She arrived! (NOW NEEDS A NAME)

I recently got a large female with a retained eyecap and I used hand lotion with no fragarance on her eye for a coulple of days and it came off without me even messing with it. My friend at reptile depot told me to do it and it worked like a charm. Prior to that both of us tried to get it off and it wouldn't budge. Soaking is great but good luck getting the snake's head to stay in the water. I've also made humidity boxes with plastc bowls with a lid with hole on top and filled with damp (not dripping wet) moss. The moisture and rubbing on the moss helps release the old skin. Go luck with her I'm sue she's gonna be a much happier girl now. :snake:

She has a Saturday vet appointment since I here a little light wheeze in her when she breaths. I'm not sure if it's just stuck skin, or if there is something more going on with her. Either way I love my vet and I'm sure he'll be able to help her out with her eye problem too.

what a cutie!

good luck with the eye

Oh she's a darling girl and what a lovely name you've chosen! Hopefully all will go well with the vet and even if that eye is permanently damaged I'm sure she'll do just fine since they really don't rely on their sight all that much for hunting, etc.
