dr del,

I will try to get a picture. It really concerns me. Worried he could go blind. Is that a possibility? Or like having a cataract? (spelling )

What is a humid hide. Ugh, things change so, I can't remember where I got the soak info, think in just general info. No info on how often is too often or when not to. So don't during shed whiles in blue eyes? I usually soak right after because I was told that after the blue stage, they shed within 4 days. True?? And okay then?

I wanted to try the tub, bought one that snaps on and even had latches on the ends. It took him about an hour to wedge between the tub edge and lid lip and to actually pop the thing open. Smart snake!! So what kind to use, and I have very little heat in winter here, it doesn't get more then freezing and one maybe 2 nights and gone, leaving only a heavy frost. But it chills the apartment, a space heater makes it nice, but never the degrees he needs, so I used the lamp/bulb and a heating pad and he seemed okay. A tub work with those? Not get the plastic too hot, burn him like a heat rock? Like a good set up before it gets cold if you can direct me and/or refere material on it.

I tried to look closer at his eyes, I don't know what I am looking for for one thing, and my bi-focals are failing me on very tiny things. Time for a 2 year exam! So I will try for a photo, my son has a camera that works with the computer, he can help me out.

Like with all info, try and see, no harm-no foul, and sometimes it works. Same with vet directions, ask one get one answer, ask another and hear something else.

Though I have a good vet, she makes mistakes. Like on Sara, on the physical exam when she said it was a UTI, she went by the urine test and finding no crystals..determined no stones, but as full as her bladder was..vet should have felt them. So all printed materal says about the physical exam of a bladder with them. My biggest concern now is that with treatment, they can return...every 5 years okay, but if a very reoccuring problem,,,may have to make a painful choice.

Anyhow, thanks for the quick info. Joannarea
