dr del,

I look at Chocolates eyes as you discribed, I see no signs of caps. I had a recheck due on Sara, so I took Chocolate along. The vet seems to think his eyes are fine, and she sees no caps. So I will no worry. I tried to get pictures to post, but every close up, even with the zoom was blurred too much.

That was some dent on your BP while in blue, I will see what my BPs is like when he next sheds, and maybe it will be easier to get a photo.

I am going to concentrate on getting their cages ready for winter. The corn is in shed right now.

Sara is doing better, she checked out on no stones and he PH is good now, but still has an infection. The stones turnned out to be ones that are brought on by infections. Yet this was the first one she ever had, that she showed any signs of having and then only when it was too serious. But UT test are now a regular thng for her, about every 2 months for life. For now she can only have the special food, once the UTI is gone, we'll talk treats and other foods. She is having some bladder control issues, and it's a combination of the infection, soreness from surgery and the food causing her to drink more. Atleast she is on the mend.

Thanks for all the advice. Hope you and all your creature family are doing well. Joannarea



Bearhart,

I guess I will get the lights on. Lot of opinions on it, but an available cool/hot side seems the best course, and monitoring better to avoid cold spots this winter. I am going to look into the multiple thermostates. There are paper shredders at garage sales all the time, I think I will stay with the paper but shred it and let them matt it down. Or is it a bad with feeding?? I have tree bark type hides, and large water bowls, both snakes use those to rub at shed times. I use blue bulbs, usually, or have been at night, and the corns is a 25watt, BPs is 60, over the hide. shows 85- 90, depending on day temp through night on the thermostate. Why do you use red?? Thanks for the info. Joanarea
