Rescued Ball Python Eye Issues

[dakski]

Thank you, I have taken her to a vet who specializes in small pets and exotics with a particular focus on snakes.

He seems to know what he is doing, but I have had my own horror stories with vets who “have a reptile focus” and I’ve read enough of other people’s to be pretty wary. He instructed me to set up a follow up appointment after her first shed with me because it was too difficult to even see her eyes with all of the retained eye caps.

She just shed and shed all of the eye caps it looks like, so the appointment is scheduled for the 15th.

I’m a technical writer by trade, so I’m not surprised that I went too far with my original post. I tried to provide as much information as possible. If I could edit it, I would add more paragraph breaks for ease of reading.

Good news on shedding the eye caps.

I agree reptile vets can be hit or miss, but this forum is a decent barometer of whether the advice given is sound or consistent. So is common sense and asking questions and probing the vet's knowledge.

Paragraph breaks are great on this forum, FYI. Not that I would need them as I only write short posts.
