as i would think that using decoration (no matter how soft) would irritate the eye and inevitably make it worse due to the rubbing of it through exploration.

He's on newspaper, has two simple hides and water.
The only snake I own that has actual "decorations" is my BRB...she's like a ninja. All the other snakes have it nice and simple; hides. I guess my JCP has something to perch on, but that is about it.

Glad to hear! I hope his eye recovers; 2 different vets and a number of untrained eyes thought it was "toast." I will remain optimistic until there is no eye...and then he'll just be a stereotypical pirate snake, arrrr!

Healed!!!
I wanted to give an update on our rescued pinstripe Chigo. He just shed and I have great news...his eye has recovered!!! Big thanks to my friend, Dr. Porcher, for his over-the-email treatment. Just look at those before and after pics!
BEFORE (the day we got him--about a month ago):

AFTER:
We would have been fine with a one eyed snake, but we're happy to see a full recovery!

Re: Rescued pinny
My god that is some epic healing time! Doesn't even look like the same snake! Great work at getting it back in shape. Do you know if the snake can actually see out of the healed eye or if it is simply looking better though without function.

Very quick recovery time! All it took was the *correct* remedy, time, and of course, my awesome, I mean proper husbandry

Like I said, maybe I swapped snakes for the photos...
I'm not sure if the eye is actually functional; the muscles that control the eye are still intact (i.e., the eye dilates and contracts based on different light levels). There is no way that I can know for sure that the eye is visually functional though.

Re: Rescued pinny
I love how you took the time to quote and respond to everyone who gave you props. Very nice and professional. Only serves to cement the fact that you are diligent, respectful and pay attention to detail in reptiles but in everything you do. Well done!

Thank you! Again, while I would love to take the credit, all I did was follow the directions given by my friend Dr. Porcher and provide proper husbandry.

Well thank you! Like above, while I'd love to take credit, I actually picked up this habit from another member on another forum; I just like how it builds "forum camaraderie."
