Frankly, at this point you're not even sure that there is something wrong with your snake. For all you know that's just the way her eyes are. The fact that she is feeding normally and has no other symptoms to indicate she has impairment or irritation with her eyes should not be forgotten.

If you can get a second opinion, I suggest you go that route.

Actually...you know they came in and said we are proscribing the baytril until Friday and I -thought- he might have told them that, but now thinking about it I honestly can't say a 100% who did what. Though, I totally understand and didn't really think of it that way until you just said something....and can understand how that does look a little fishy, but he has been our vet for YYEEEARS. I mean, not just treating snakes, but anything and everything we have had and has always done EVERYTHING right while prescribing what he needs to get them healthy and back on track if something goes wrong. So i do really trust him with ALL my animals if he told them to prescribe the baytril.

Also, I really don't think just three doses of the baytril until Friday will hurt her and she is still doing fine today, but I am not trying to argue with you! I am not going to let them give her -anything- else if they still just don't know what is wrong with her, because there may not be anything wrong at all!

Also I asked my mother and she said that the last thing she knew was the only vets who took any exotic pets or reptiles worked at Kryder(vet clinic name also), Dr. Kryder being one of them and then these new people who I was lucky enough to meet the last time I was there. I could double check and ask around some more, but looks to me that those are the only ones HERE I could talk to on the phone or anything. The other clinics around here are just TINY and usually have very few doctors, so if they don't see exotics -no one- does.
