I have wanted an albino boa for a while now. I wasn't going to get one anytime soon but I came across this little guy. The breeder had a litter of boas and a couple of the albinos/sunglows had 1 eye that was either missing of bulging. The advice was given to cull the whole litter due to the genetic defect. I piped in saying I could take one of the babies as a pet only. He agreed and sent my pictures. The females were albinos and the males were sunglows. I was over the moon that the sunglow was a male! I said I would take him.
It was my first time having a snake shipped but it went smoothly. I picked up the package from Fedex during my lunch break and brought him home. When I opened the bag there was blood. Not a ton of it but he was bloody. I took him out and looked him over. His bad eye had burst during shipping.
I put him away and called the reptile vet to see what I should do. They wanted to see him right away. I had to explain to my boss that I needed to take my snake to the vet so I could leave early. Luckily she was fine with it.
I took him in and he was so good while the vet poked at his eye and looked in his mouth. He then gave my some ointment to put on the eye to keep it from getting infected. I put him in a sterile tub with paper towels and let him settle in. He had had such a rough day!!
Anyway he's doing good so far and I'm so in love with him. He's so easy going. I made sure to get pictures of his good side
