The jaw line is pretty out of shape on yours , do you think its more likly to be caused from incubation temps or a genetic thing ? Was it a twin by any chance ?
i know of guy about 7 odd years ago who had a clutch of stimsons, 6 if i recall correctly, where 5 of the hatchies had no eyes at all and 1 was normal. i know for a fact that atleast 2 of the no eyed ones survived well into adulthood. but then i lost contact with him (hes a friend of my ex) hes a very experienced keeper (35 odd years) and he seemed to think that it was due to temperature fluctuations during incubation.
ive got a palmerston krauss jungle that was born with one eye aswell, got off a mate and he didnt realise till few days before as it has a black spot where the eye supposed to be, but it has no affect on the feed what so ever, it would have to be one of my best feeding snakes
Good luck with him, 'special needs' animals can make great pets. I have a friend with a one eyed parrot and a completely blind parrot that are both outstanding pets.
I have a friend who had a pair of water pythons hatch from the same egg. They both only have one eye but one has the left and the other has the right. Obviously not enough eyes to go around.
I can't imagine this would be a big problem with snakes as someone said they are mostly scent oriented. Plus in captivity there is no competition and always a food supply
yea no special care needed, and they are still very accurate as my little one eyed jungle never misses a chance to bite me haha, and never misses it food and growing strongly and healthy
poor like guy!
He will find his food fine.....in the dark
Reptile City have a 3-4 yr old woma with one eye and he is doing fine..he is for sale I was like OHHHH patch!
keep us posted on his progress
He is going good , his one of the biggest out of the clutch and has a lot lighter yellow than the others .
these pics were taken a couple of months ago , i will take some fresh shots tomorrow .
