So as you may know i bought my first python in the start of may.
as soon as i got him home he went into shed..... which lasted for 3 weeks. as soon as the skin came off .. the eyes were still milky and of course, another 2 weeks went by, he shed again. but this time one of his eyes looked infected and the eye caps in the shed were dis-coloured.
So i took him to the vet who said he had some how punctured the layer over his eye and it was leaking fluid.
He administered a 3 week course of an anti biotic injection just incase bacteria was a factor.
One thing i have noticed is that he hasnt moved from his cold side at all in about 2 weeks (constant 21 degrees C) besides getting the occasional drink, and has not eaten a thing since i got him despite feeding fine with the breeder.
Anyone got any advice?
Why could he possibly want to stay in the cold end?
