If you close your eyes does it make you fall down? Nope, a little thing called equilibrium comes into play don't it.
How come all these Boa born with mutated or missing eyes seem to have perfectly normal motor skills? Because sight has little to do with the messages sent by the inner ear.

4 years ago I rescued a Boa, a rat attack victim who is now in a happy home in Las Cruces NM. Had most of his head eaten, one eye completely gone, the other is scarred. A full year of recovery it took. Other than needing a little help finding the food at times, this Boa motors and acts just fine.

A guy just posted a BCo in another forum that's obviously blind, (who knows why) and it motors just fine. Seen too many examples to believe that with any certainty.


The human mind, a lot like a parachute, works much better when open.
