Meet Cy
He's had a rough start. He was born with an genetic eye defect and I said I would take him as a pet only. I've wanted a boa for a while, especially a male sunglow. It was pretty perfect. He was shipped out to me with little incident, besides an ignorant Fedex lady at the pick up location.
When I got home I opened the bag and there was blood. His bad eye looked really bad like it had ruptured. I called the vet and they wanted to see him right away. I took him in and the vet said the outer skin of his eye had actually rubbed off. What I was seeing was the exposed cornea(yuck). The bad news, he was certain Cy could not see out of that eye. The good news, he also couldn't feel it.
Little Cy was sooooo good through the whole exam. Now I have ointment to put on his eye twice a day. For now I have him in a rubbermaid tub with paper towels to keep everything clean. Yesterday I fed him a small meal and he took it like a champ. I was worried with all the stress he wouldn't eat.
He is such an amazing creature. Nothing like my corn snakes or milk snake.
Some pictures to share. I made sure to get his good side
