eye caps on huge burm

jojay327 Apr 08, 2006 02:40 PM

My stress level just hit a 10!!! my 8 year old burm(16 ft, 170 lbs) just shed and both eye caps are still on. This has never happened in the 10 years I have kept snakes. I have tried everything I think is safe to try. Just looking for suggestions, I don't know how a vet would remove them on a girl this big with out putting her under, just nervous about the whole thing. If you have had this expierence please help. Thanks Jason

Hey Jason-
Relax a little a check out Joe Compel Reptile's site for a little article he offers on the subject. It should reduce some anxiety and help you develop a plan.
