I am total newbie and may be offering bad info, but I have read that lots of snakes receive their hydration via their meals. Maybe a ? to ask would be "is your ball eating regularly?" I know that my snake only seems to have bad sheds when he goes on a hunger strike, although keep in mind he's a sand boa and doesn't require the humidity that your snake needs. Just a thought...

I have taken my snakes to a great, certified exotics and herp vet in Philadelphia. He has helped me several times, so I completely trust him. Reptiles magazine usually has a list of herp vets in every state. It sounds like retained eye caps though. My bp had that and he actually ended up with several caked on before I noticed. I had him on antibiotic and moisturizing lotion for his eyes for a month until he shed again. I thought for sure he was going to be blind in that eye, but when he finally shed again it all came off. I was living in an apartment where no matter what I did I couldnt keep the humidity up in his cage and he refused to soak in his bowl so I put him in the tub every other day. I've since moved and have a climate/humidity controlled room for the snakes. But vets can be very helpful, and so can advice from fellow herpers. It is a matter of how severe your problem is and your personal preference. Herp vets are expensive though, so use them sparingly.

I've read in a lot of care sheets about using tape on the eyes, it scares me to think how many people follow that advice... =/

it seems to me like most snake owners find it a pride thing to take their snakes to a vet, like it's a bad thing. i guess i'll never understand it. but the vet that i've taken my snake to has snakes himself, he only treats snakes. so i think that's pretty good. i don't know if he's certified.

Pheonix446, you said there's a lot of herp vets here?? I have only been able to find the one I use and that was only because my sister works at the clinic.. where are they at lol
