I have done what he told me to do and its looking better as we speak. It went strait onto the heat. Every one told me not to give it heat at all as i live in qld, but apparently no australian snake should be kept cold in captivity as mites, and disease in snake are manly from bad husbandry and low temps.
Until the vet looks at it he could only tell me possibilities like in worse case opmv . but it doesn't look like what he described as opmv . ill just have to wait and see.

Im keeping my tiger way in the next room until 100% just incase.
cheers steve
