Sorry didnt mean to scare yall. no huge tradgedy here. HOWEVER. ahead of schedule, ive inherited a 1.5 yr old 3ft BP. hes busy crawling around his 20 long ( i know he needs a bigger setup, It was short notice and ill need a few days to peice together and setup a new one in a 30 long). anyways, the real question, his eyes seem a bit cloudy. err. maybe dry? I know a pic would help but i lack a camera at the moment. I was thinking maybe just some leftover eyecaps from his last shed? hes only been here about 6 hours. hot side temp is 89F cool side is 80F. has fresh water. damp towel over 75% of the top screen and of course the obligatory heavy weights to keep this mini-hercules in his cage. also has some dry skin on his snout. his vents are clear tho, and isnt stargazing or acting particularly strange. tounge flicks about actively, no i havent handled him other than to place him in the cage. previous owner needed him out because she was preggo and getting ready to have a baby and of all the other boids, his container was the one chosen to be ousted. owner seemed very knowledgeable and snake doesnt show any burns.. I guess i need to get yall pics, but im not tryin to handle him till he's settled. the dry skin either looks like shed that hasnt been moved or a small scab maybe? and does anyone have pics of a snake with eyecaps that havent fallen off yet? they arent opaque but rather black and you can only tell theres a texture if he tilts his head towards the light. should i just leave him be for a few days to get comfy then give him a warm soak and let him slither through a towell before letting him get into his soon to be replaced cage and feeding him? (its been about two weeks since he last ate a rat so im assuming he'll be wanting to scarf his lil heart out soon hopefully). but he has been known to be a picky eater... anyways, thanks for the advice!
