Hi guys very similar to the topic before this one, my butter motley Xanthe seemed to shed properly last time - about 6 weeks ago but has gone off her food the past couple of weeks and has what looks like bits of shed on her, her head is the worst and I have taken a couple of pics although not the best quality as she keeps wriggling.
She is active and I haven't seen her rubbing on anything to cause the problem, any advice please?

I'm not sure if it's me or not of if it's the camera angel but it's eye's look rather boggly, you know if it has some retained eye caps?

The eyes do look a bit odd. Do you have better pics at all?

I'll try to get some better pics with a decent camera tonight. If the reptile expert is on at the vets tonight though I might take her straight there.

Just an update, it was the camera angle...her eyes are fine! Been to the vets though and she thinks it could be a fungal infection so I've got to rub her with iodine twice a day! Hopefully that'll sort her out fingers crossed!

She's looking much better already and has eaten today. Glad I took her to the vets, although the £50 reptile examination fee seems a bit steep when a cat or dog is about £25!!

Yeh bit of a joke really, since I wouldn't really class corns as exotics and they are quite a common pet lol
