Hello, I am new to these forums but I'm glad to see a community out here dedicated to this type of stuff. I'm a first time owner of reptiles, and I have had my snake for about 3 months now. Here is some background info on her
Name: Medusa
Size: 22 - 23 inches
Eats: 1 or 2 large mice per week...very good eater
Shed: has shed twice since I had her (first one there was a little trouble cause I didnt have the humidity right so I bought Shed-Ease, a substance you mix with water and soak the snake with and helps them shed. Second time I fixed humidity she shed no problems .... or so I thought)
Activity: Very active little snake. Loves to climb this fake tree I have in my room. Loves to be around my neck. Gets a good amount of handling. Never bit anyone.
Poops: 4-5 days after she eats ( I think ).
My Problem!!! I have noticed a little flap of dead skin on the top part of her left eye. It doesn't cover her entire eye, its just a little flap on the top part. I'm concerned because I think this is affecting her depth perception. She usually strikes the mouse and gets it the first time, but I have been noticing that her past three attempts to get the mouse, she has missed the first strike. It only takes her one miss to correct herself, but she was never like this out of all the times I have fed her until this problem with her eye. I have an attatched photo, I hope it helps. The quality isn't good, but its the best I could do. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!
