Does this pic show you anything?

[TanyaL]

****I'm working on getting the pics to show up....hang tight***

I didn't think much about it until reading in another post about somebody's suspected eye problems.

These pics were taken pre-shed. I would add post-shed pics but until she presents herself in the tank where I can take pics or until my son comes home to hold her, I can't.

I've noticed in other pics that their snakes have very clear eyes, without that raised, custy look around the edges. (I couldn't get pics to show up so I'm posting links....sorry! I'll learn how to do it asap)







Here is a link to other pictures if your interested. Any and all comments are welcome. Just keep in mind that I'm still learning.

What is your humidity at?

[Kristy]

I took the pic and blew it up to see. They eye looks really dry. Which could be a humidity problem. Do you know what your humidity is? The best way to tell is to get an accurite indoor/outdoor digital thermometer with a hygrometer on it.

[TanyaL]

That very well may be the problem, then. The humidity is under control now but wasn't at the time the photos were taken. I do have the accurite which was worth it's weight in gold!

So, is there anything that I should do? Any concerns?

[Patrick Long]

well, what does accurite read, you must answer our questions too ya know

[TanyaL]

The reason I didn't answer is because temps and humidity are under control now but were not when the photo was taken. Right now, humidity is at 52%.

Before I got the accurite I'm sure the temps and humidity were all over the place. All I had at the time were those stupid round dial ones. I had left them in for a few days after I got the accurite and realized that the humidity dial was stuck. So, who knows what the humidity was when the photo was taken. I will admit that she didn't receive the best care when we first got her but not because we didn't want to offer the best care but because we didn't know enough, and I feel horrible about it.

BTW, temps right now are at 84/92.

My son just got home so I'll have him pull her out to see if they still look the same. I was just curious if I have a problem on my hands, if it has to do with the shed phase or what. I'll update as soon as I see what they look like now.

THANKS A BUNCH!

[Patrick Long]

good! let us know! maybe even try soakin him/her in warm water!

[TanyaL]

Also, I might add that the pics were taken through the glass which may add to them looking dull. I'm pretty sure I can get more pics taken this evening.

I think proper humity and a couple good sheds under your belt and you'll be good to go.

That's awesome that you would observe other pics and ask such a good question about your own husbandry.

Her eyes do look better as far as I can tell. They don't look as clear as others but certainly better than prior to the shed. I'll keep my fingers crossed that your advice works.

Thanks! Like I said, she didn't get the best care initally so now I'm trying to learn all I can, rather it be from reading posts of observing photos and comparing.
