Imperfect snake has been perfect so far

Johnnyk45 Feb 23, 2010 02:58 PM

Hi All,

Fairly new owners of a 3-4 month old corn snake and a week or so back, I noticed on his one eye he has a very tiny white spec that sometimes shows up (almost in the middle), other times perhaps rotates out of position slightly and can't see it if you hunt, then may appear again if you really look. Almost looks like a tiny glare he'd get from the light hitting his eye; but a spec. Took him to our vet for a quick wellness check and she said both eyes looked good, she said likely a tiny scar when born, or perhaps a spec from the coating or whatever (can't remember the correct terms now) from when he/she was born that didn't come 100% off; at any rate, she said he should be just fine, nothing to worry about. Anyway, new to the forum and just wanted to say Hi and say something (unique perhaps??) about our little imperfect snake, who thus far, has been just perfect - great temperament, great with being handled by all of us and a fun little active guy to watch. He's won all of us over big-time already.

Weird, I have never heard of that though I would really have to see it. But if it 'travels' personally I'd want to make sure what you're seeing isn't a baby mite. I suppose if you ever see tiny black dots on him or in his water bowl, you'll know. Got any photos?
