Pet Corn Snake
New member
Hey, well as most of you know, I'm no expert in snakes, however over the months of owning Damien we have formed a great friendship.
So today, i did a little health check, i don't really know how to do it properly but i thought i would give it a try.
A good thing about Good boy "Damien" is that he will let me check around his head, and he wont try to strike or bite me, hes great.
Eyes:
To check he was not blind i moved my finger in front of each eye, and both eyes moved, i'm guessing hes not blind right?
Mites:
I looked really close for mites, i could not see one, i check around his head/neck and all down his body.
Poo:
I found a Poo, so theres no problems there, however i may Go to bigger rats, he has a lot of skin that needs growing into.
Tail:
The very tip of his tail, i think its like a tiny cap, its a little redder then normal, but i don't know if thats anything to worry about..
Behavior:
Well, he acts Great when out, but all he does is hide, i herd that bigger rats may make him more active, also i found the other stuff, i think thats like snake wee or something.. so thats everything i think? if anyone knows the best ways to do health checks, please let me know as Damien's Health is a major priority.
