The newer family additions

[SoundUnsleep]

Okay, since last fall I've added a few BP's. Here are all my newbies:
Casper, my Albino (he's just as cuddly as what he looks like!):

Then there's Linus. He's an axanthic and just as the name says, he's very laid back:

Here's Charlotte, my (ever so fluffy) spider girl:

And Nova, the yellow belly (he was named for his funky ivory scales that look like novas):

And then there's Missy (this girl has a mind of her own!):

My rescue, a ghost, doesn't have a name yet. She's over the hump now and doing quite well:

The rescue came to me with an RI, scale rot, stuck in an unsucessful shed, blind as a mole because of doubled up eyecaps that were still in place and completely dehydrated. We are still working on the RI. She had been bought from a pet store, was brought back in a terrible condition and had basically been written off.

BEAUTIFUL collection! I'm jealous! I only have ONE BP...a normal. but she's my baby girl and the first of many i hope.

Very Nice, all so pretty.

Can you please give advice as to how you were able to remove the eye caps. Just in case mine (or my freind's snake) ever develop(s) a simular condition.

Yeah, there are quite a few BP's in the house now. I soooo got hooked on them. Missy has a bit of an attitude at times (she's the first ball ever that I heard hiss!). She never makes a ball, just the contrary: Comes up like a cobra and is ready for battle, but never strikes.
Dave: I make my own solution, but I suppose you could use something like shed aid as well. My mix: 50 ml clean, cooked water, 1/2 ts jojoba oil, 1/2 ts Vitamin E oil. Shake well, wait to cool down and shake again. I use a sterile cottonswab to dab just a little of that onto the eye cap, put the swab back into the pouch, wait about five minutes then use the cottonswab and CAREFULLY from the edge of the eyes roll it towards the eye to catch the edge of the eye cap that I can then simply lift off. Another way of removal (I had to use it on the rescue) after pre-treatment with the mix: Use a small piece of low (!!!) tack artist tape or artist masking film, put around middle finger, keeping the edges firmly in place between index and ring finger and quickly but carefully dab onto eye, pulling the eyecap off.
Better than any shed aid: Don't buy a snake that's in shed and provide your new addition with plenty of humidity.
