Stevie update.

Ok now from the land of no eyes,

All is great now, he has shed again, still eats like a pig, and has a new trick!

Check this out, I took him to a vet and she said he has no eyes, not under skin, not anywhere.

a few weeks ago we had a storm come though here(I'm in fl)and we lost power for a few days. I was checking on the reptiles with a flash light, when I noticed stevie was responding to the light!!!
I have a lot of snakes and he was the only one who did.

So I'v been playing with it a little, I think he is feeling the heat put off by the light.It's just a maglight but they do put off some heat.He even responds to it when all the other lights are on.He doesn't just look it the light, he will follow it around.

Like I said I think it's just him feeling the heat and wanting to know what it is.

What do you all think?

It is very interesting. A freind of mine breeds his burms by just reduceing the light cycle in the room. he has light that comes in through the windows. The room temp says the same year round. It is amazing the affects the light has on them.
