Had my first boa litter of hypospadias sunglow and albinos. 2 were born with eyes out of head and are otherwise full of piss and vinegar. What do I do? Please help. They are becoming cristie and harder day by day so I'm hoping they fall off and heal over as usually happens when a snake loses an eye. Being newborn I'm unsure what do do to help. I cant find a single smidge of help or previous experience online. Ty in advance. Bye they were born april 5th

I'm not sure what you mean by "eyes out of head." Skull deformity so the eyes don't have proper sockets to fit in? The eyes were popped out of the socket from some trauma?

This the issue may have been resolvable on April 5 or 6 through first aid. I expect your only hope now is intervention by a vet.

However, at this point... this is not likely to be a popular opinion, but sometimes breeding animals means knowing when to cull animals. I would humanely euthanize those two snakes. It probably isn't the answer you want to hear but it seems like those snakes were born with some type of defect that doesn't need to remain in the gene pool. I strongly dislike doing it myself, but sometimes culling is a necessary evil.
