Cataract?
So, my little formerly drooly Mojave has a new issue. Well, not really new just about time to question what it could be since his breathing is all better - if any of you remember my post asking about drooly snakes, it turned out he not only had a respiratory infection but a lung worm. He's all better, and all snakes in the house have been treated for the parasite. Everyone is now healthy. Thank goodness.
But little Alyn, has a foggy eye. Both are a little cloudy, but the right is more so. It isn't the whole eye, it's like a streak of foggy on the upper part. The vet did look at him, and I have been checking his sheds to make sure it isn't a stuck eye cap. The vet isn't sure what it is, and assumes it is likely a cataract, and I was wondering if anyone else has had or has a snake with a similar condition? I will try to get a pic if it's wanted.

Re: Cataract?
Hi,
Does that mean it doesn't go away when he sheds?
And yes a pic would certainly help.
I have an old cornsnake that seems to have cateracts in both eyes but have also had a young BP that looked to have the same that turned out to be scuffmarks from her movements against the inside of the unglazed terracotta hide I was using at the time.
In her case they dissapeared when she shed but returned a couple of days later.
