Hi I'm New. I have a quick question...

[tttaylorrr]

Update post vet.
The veterinarian was awesome. She used to teach at UCDavis in their reptile etc department. She was very knowledgeable on BPs.

The verdict... snake is healthy, great heart rate and decent weight. Healthy pits and good coloration of mouth. Great response to being turned belly up, nice strong coiling... Nothing super concerning beyond the eyes.
She said it seems like multiple caps that have retained and she doubts the snake can see at all.

Our plan is to crank up the humidity and do daily (stress level permitting) baths and wrapping her in a wet towel she can squirm out of. Hopefully we will loosen those caps! We have a follow up scheduled for next Wednesday to see what happens.
Vet believes it's a lack of husbandry at the hands of a careless breeder but that I am this snakes best chance because if she goes back to petsmart she's likely going to starve to death.
If next Wednesday we have not seen progress, we are going to do a tube feeding and schedule an appointment at the university for a micro-surgical removal of the eye caps. So... here's to hoping humidity is our answer and I don't have to drive 3 hours!
Keep your scales crossed for us. ❤🐍
