Through a frustrating tale of noncommunication I got a replacement from that breeder (frustrating but I'm still hopefully getting a snake from Corey tomorrow if I can track him down in town!). I had orey out today just to generally check him over since I've left him alone for the first three days.
I was looking at his face and he seems to have some grey residue/discharge (it looks dry but it could be wet, I couldn't exactly reach in there) in one of the heat pits closer to his right eye. He's blue right now so I'm going to see what happens to it after he sheds and if it's still there, he is going to the vet posthaste unless this is a symptom of something very, very serious in which case I will be there sooner. Is it the beginning of an RI?
Things that have NOT happened: Bubbles, gurgles, whistles, opening his mouth, mites, star gazing, lying on his back
Things I did see: one tick (since gone!), nice defensive reactions (rolling over when flipped, head shy, squeezing)
Husbandry: Newspaper substrate, 82 on cool side 92 on hot, humidity at 65-70% cause he's blue, residing in a rubbermaid. I got him on Monday. He's about four months old.
