Re: Caring for Blind BP (DU Warning)
Grrrrr... give me five minutes alone with the person who let that happen.. along with a cast iron fryingpan and preferably in a dark alley...
I am thinking along the lines of Jo's post; seems to me that I saw that show too, and it'd hold true. Like everyone mostly said, I would give the poor girl some time to just relax, acclimate and have some peace; I would imagine that at the store, gawkers were staring at her all day, the poor thing. I think it is SUPER awesome that you're giving her a chance, and I can't even imagine the good karma you deserve for this.. good luck and I hope you keep us posted.

Re: Caring for Blind BP (DU Warning)
oh man the poor thing! im so happy that you have taken her in and i agree with everyone about letting her get settled, i also agree that she should see a vet, im not sure but it could be causing pain and it may be comfier for the snake and you if you can get the eyes removed, the idiot who did this to the poor bp should go to jail! and i think ray is a great name!

Here she is, Cass. She weighs about 2700 grams up from 1700 when I got her last November. I take her out a lot, and she loves to do the Cobra periscope trick when she's roaming around.

Thanks! I'm actually her third owner. The first owner didn't remove a bunch of stuck eye caps, so that's how they got damaged. She's shedding them fine now. I'm not sure if the fleckiness on her face has to do with age or not. She does have a couple scars on her face and her neck. The neck scar is probably from a rodent bite, but the head scar might be from cage rubbing?

Re: Caring for Blind BP (DU Warning)
WTF???? How AWFUL! It never ceases to amaze how STUPID and careless ppl can be due to either willful neglect or just ignorance. Pooooor baby!
What a loving thing you've done taking it in!!! Besides, Ray is a great name...you can always add and "e" on the end if it probes out female. Hee hee hee :-P
Despite the injuries, I hope you have many happy years w/your new pet.
