    eYE pROBLEM

    Hey guys i hope im in the right forum area but i have a pet BP named POOPSIE and she is a little over a year old. She is almost two feet now and she has had an eye problem.

    post pictures. I don't really understand the nature of the problem you're trying to explain. I'd suggest going to an exotic or reptile specialist vet to get your snake checked out.

    Get to a qualified vet for herps... could be a number of factors including dehydration, parasitic etc. Not to scare you cause I know you are, but the vet is the best bet. May be something simple...

    If looking for a vet for herps - www.herpvetconnection.com (there are other listings as well)

    Try raising the humidity, sounds like a dented eye cap.

    Se where her scales ends and this flap of skin is on the top part of her eye and the cavity in the bottom part of her eye

    see the difference in the length of the eyes sticking out they use to be the same length


    what could cause this when she stretched her mouth to eat could it of done it.....it doesnt seem to bother her...

    Could it be an infection? My girl just got the same some months ago, she had a retained eye cap from 3 sheds ago which went really bad. From what I've experienced, you gotta take her to the vet ASAP if that's the case.

    Here's some photos from the day we took her to the vet, we had to wait like 2-3 days because the closest reptile-vet only works on Tuesdays...

    You can clearly see the eye is bulging out.




    Is this somewhat what it looks like on your snake?
