Hi all Romeo shedded about 2-3days ago then yesterday (Thursday) I feed him he normaly takes 2 medium mice as 1 dont show a bump but he refused to eat the second mouse. then today i go to change his water and i see his head poking out then i looked at his eyes and they have gone to a milky colour meaning hes going in to another shedd, When he shedded a few days ago his eyes went bright red then 2days after its gone to milky colour.
When he shedded i do a check for mites and there was no mites but for the past 15days he has not been active, hes drinking his water fine, temps are all fine.
I have rang up the herp vet about this as im very worried they have booked him an appointment for monday for a check up.
Has any one had a problem like this. ? |

Hiper, I cant give you any advice or help but just want to say sorry that Romeo doesnt seem well. You have definitely done the right thing by reacting quickly and getting an appointment at the herp vet - you are so lucky you have one near you. I can just imagine how worried you are about him and am sorry that you have to wait over the weekend before he gets seen. Will be thinking of you and him.

Its not near me its a 30mile drive but i dont care as long as he gets seen to one thats all that matters but i just dont know what to do, i cant get him out right now as he is digesting his meal from last night.
Never known a snake to shedd then go in to another shedd stage like 2days after i find it very strange to be honest. I'm sure some one on here has had this problem and can help me.
Thanks Judith for caring  |

You know I always care Hiper !! And I also know you would do absolutely anything for your snakes...so no matter how far the vet is away you will get him there.
I am sure when GP checks in later she will be able to give you some idea about what is going on - just double check you have supplied all the info she will need.
Maybe talk to you later, I hope.

has he had an injury? they will shed more frequently trying to heal themselves...........
does seem a little odd to be in blue so soon but there's probably a minor underlying cause so i wouldn't panic just yet hun |

I took him to the herp vet and the man there checked him over and said there's nothing wrong with him and hes very healthy boy, But he did say if a snake falls from a hight which romeo does alot he falls off his branch alot and this can cause him to go in blue as his brain thinks he needs to heal up or something but half the stuff the herp vet said i didn't understand what he was going on about.
So in other words what he was trying to say is that Romeo is fine hes still in blue and will shedd probly on tuesday or wednesday and should be back to normal hopefuly  Thanks for all ya help every one . |

Are you sure you dont work at a herp vet you know an aweful lot GP  I was pretty shocked when the vet said almost the same as you stated i was like wahhhh i told him about the TCS Forum and he said he knows it  . But what i dont understand is why do they go in blue if they hurt them selfs even by falling off a branch thats about 1.5ft in air from the substrate its not like he cut him self open or anything like that.  |

like the vet said, the brain thinks the body needs repair, and the way snakes repair external injuries is to shed more frequently
i didn't know that bruising from a fall would neccesarily mean him going blue that soon after his previous shed though!
and i'm quite surprised at how bad a climber he is for a corn too lol, now royals you regularly expect to hear a big THUD! lol |

I always hear a big thud from Romeo in the middle of the night i have even recorded him in day time climbing he climbs up his branch then he thinks he can fly from one end to the other end of the viv then he just drops down in mid air  .
But when his brain tells him he must repair him self how do they go milky colour eyed and get the skin to shedd if they already shedded then they are nice and new skinned right ? Its very confusing. |
