Re: Eyeless corn snake

That's bizarre. I wonder if it'll be able to live just fine?

Re: Eyeless corn snake

unlike humans animals do not dwell on their disability. I hope and think she will do fine.

Re: Eyeless corn snake

This happens from time to time, I've seen it in other species as well. Genetic defect, they usually do all right in a captive environment.
