Amazon boa eye problem.

koolgeeg Feb 17, 2009 12:06 PM

Just got an amazon tree boa, and one if its eyes has a wrinkled, small dented, broken glass kinda look to it. its not clear and smooth as the other. I have removed retained eyecaps off of snakes before. Ive soaked it in warm water.. even tried the scoth tape
method.. but no luck. Could this be something else??? Any suggestions...
pS it has ate, so its a healthy snake. VERY VERY aggresive though.

Using a q-tip, place enough vaseline on the eye to cover it completely. Try to do this once daily for several days. The cap should come off easily.
