Jenn I am still amazed you got that out...How in the world did you find it? How big is she? I mean my guys are so tiny, not sure I have the eyes to be able to see something like that & my won't sit still! lol

"Cornsnake Hot Momma of the Yr Award"

She's almost 2yrs old, though she's small for her age. She weighs just about 100g. At first I couldn't tell what was wrong with her eye - she just looked angry and then when I pulled her out I could see that the splinter was in there and that the area around the eye was a touch swollen.

As for getting it out, I wouldn't have been able to if she was flailing around. She was much calmer then usual - as if she knew I was going to help her.

Thanks for the Hot Momma award! lol... Tim got a good chuckle out of it.

We still use substrate, just not the sani-chips in with the bigger snakes now. We use the larger aspen shavings and paper towel (only rarely for injuries or snakes we need to monitor closely.)

I don't know if she was in any actual pain, but I am certain it had to be irritating her at least. I'm very glad I was able to take it out as I really didn't want to find out how much impact it would have had during a shed.

Thanks again for the well wishes and comments everyone!

Jenn
