 |
This is a bp at the shop I go to. They are not big time breeders of snakes, they primarily breed rats and mice.
I seen this beauty at the shop and had to snap pics. It is way darker than any normals I have seen (has some blushing too) and the eyes are remarkable. They are like chrome!
Bonnie didn't know if it was a morph or not. She said her brother picked it up in trade.
Any idea what it is... or IF it is a morph?
The eyes...
The dark markings:
Blushing:

Are her eyes always like that? I can see the reflection of your SILVER watch on her eye (pic 1) In Pic 5 the eye facing away from the hand looks quite normal.

I always figured eye caps to be cloudy... though I have never seen a snake with the eye caps stuck before...
The eyes have been this shiny (supposedly) since they got it as a baby.

the snakes eyes become cloudy before a shed. an eye cap is stuck shed on the eye after the snake has shed.
If it has been like that since it was a baby then judging from the picture it looks like it has eye cap upon eye cap

Looks alot like the het albino male I took in recently from a bad situation, stuck caps over and over on mine, ugh. What to do what to do, any help for long term stuck eye caps? I've tried baths, no luck there yet? Not trying to hijack the thread, but if it is stuck caps, maybe he can use the same advise

This is what has worked for me years ago when my snake got some eye caps stuck.
get a plastic shoe box container big enough for your snake to hide in.
get some peat moss and fill the box with that, spray it with water(and make sure you spray every 2-3 days)
cut a whole in the lid big enough so your snake can get into it
secure the lid so it can't be removed (be it clips or tape, if you use tape make sure all of it is stuck to the box so the snake can't get caught on it)
remove your snakes normal hide and place this new hide box where the original one was and hopefully your snake will go and chill in his new humidity hide and hopefully within the next shed his eye caps will be gone.
this worked for me if you wanna try
