I am considering adopting a little BP who is in an "adoption" cage at Petco. It is labeled "special needs" because it is blind. It apparently had retained eyecaps that never resolved, and the animal care person said a vet examined it and said there was nothing that could be done to save its eyes at this point. Its eyes look like they are covered in scabs. The Petco person said she had been force feeding the snake, but that the little guy has eaten willingly for the last 3 weeks (weekly feedings).

If I were to bring this snake home, what would I be signing up for? Is there anything special that could or should be done for this little snake? Do you think it's likely that he/she would stop feeding again? The poor little thing really touched my heart, but I am worried I would be taking on more than I could handle and cause the snake to suffer. I have never had to force feed a snake before, nor had a snake with retained eyecaps. Do you think I'd be getting in over my head?
