Athena, my eyeless normal Update thread.
So, it's been a while since I posted pictures of her. I adopted her from Pat at Action Reptiles.
She eats like a horse, and is now well over 1000 grams.
Here she is in all her reduced pattern glory:
She is very gentle and sweet, and is well on her way to being an ambassador snake for people who don't like snakes.

She's amazing and nice job of giving her a shot! 'Disabled' animals can make the best ambassadors because people are more fascinated by them. I have to admit, she is downright adorable. Almost like a snake that's constantly squinting.

Leigh,
You aren't the only person here who adores her. She has a lot of fans here and on Facebook as well. I remember when Pat posted pictures of her and the other hatchling who were hatched with deformities. I fell in love with her at first sight, and told Pat I'd be happy to give her a home.
Once she had eaten on her own a few times, Pat sent her to me, and I lost my heart the moment I unpacked her. She's always been a good eater, and she is always on the go. She is by far one of the most gentle of my snakes, and I will never give her up.

I like her and her reduced pattern!
Just curious: do you plan to breed her?

That is a question I've been asked many times. Under certain circumstances I might, but since there is a distinct possibility her deformity is genetic, I feel it isn't worth the risk. Not just to any potential offspring, but to her as well.
She certainly is a beautiful animal, and I have thought more than once I'd love to see her babies. But then I ask myself if I could deal with her babies being born with defects, maybe even having to put one down. The answer is no.
I have enough breeding animals to enjoy, and she will forever remain my pet/ambassador.

As i thought about it before i asked the question my train of thought followed a similar path. Her babies would probably be nice but it could be genetic so its probably not worth the risk. I think Ben Siegal has two eyeless bps, so maybe it is more than just a randomn occurence...?
