I guessed older, because he is thin, and just doesn't have that "baby" look to him. I guessed 3-4. A rough 3-4, not a cushy one mouse a week without fail 3-4.

I think I'd drop off a fecal at the vet and check him for parasites. Who knows what he's been eating. If he has parasites, that would make it harder to put weight on him. Even though I feed FT, virtually every snake I've checked for worms has had them...

I was abt to ask how long till I can look for a BM. I work on a colo-rectal/urology floor so I'm a lil obsessive abt that by nature lol. As much as I need to not spend any more money than I have this week I intend to get a stool sample for that exact reason. I'd rather be broke with a healthy snake than broken hearted with a deceased snake. God forbid

With his small meals, you might need to wait till he's on appropriate-sized mice to get a decent poop. But usually they poop about 3-5 days after the meal, maybe a little longer for adults.
(Interesting job- I'm the fluoro coordinator at a hospital- so some diagnostics for adults and peds, and a lot of rule out leak/check unknown surgical anatomy from outside hospitals, etc. Actually, a lot of r/o hirschsprung's, r/o malrotation, eval for VUR, and a billion rehab barium swallows/modified barium swallows. We just had a really cool bladder study, in which the bladder had ruptured in utero- nothing in the literature about that, ever. And just did a BE on an 800 gram patient! I love my job.)

I'm so glad that you saved JuJu from certain death. But what's going on with the veterinarians today? Won't see a snake because they don't specialize in reptiles? What are they being taught now, only how to accept dogs and cats as patients? Vets have books and online references available to them and could have easily diagnosed the problem, or at least ruled out some of the causes. I realize dogs and cats are the majority of their business, but to turn away a snake without even attempting to help is a sad commentary.

I know that these are just pictures and from different angles, but the eye looks just a bit better. The fact that the outer skin, which is the spectacle, looks wrinkled, indicates to me that the swelling has gone down a bit, as does the overall appearance. In any case you are doing everything you can so lets hope the eye can be saved. Underneath the spectacle and cornea the eye looks pretty good to me and that is hopeful too.
If the worse does come to pass, I assure you Juju will be fine with one eye. In fact snakes do fine with no eyes. But I do see signs that lead me to be hopeful. Please keep us updated!
