he was kept on news paper. when ever i provided a humid hid he wouldnt go in it so i just kept the tank at the required temps. i live in philly PA. he has always had perfect sheds and what not. i dont have a snake room (i live in a studio) so all my animals are in sight and i check on them ALL the time. there was NO signs or anytihng. i went to sleep and he was fine....came home from work and there it was. i called my vet and tried to get in. im not sure if an exotic vet was on staff but i was told to soak once a day and apply a triple antibiotic then call if it gets worse. so far it doesnt seem to be getting worse. the little guy is also in shed "blue eyes". im ordering more nolvasan but im soaking him in distilled water once a day and putting the ointment on twice a day.
