Alrighty I have a serious problem

I have a male BCI that I think may be in trouble... He just got done shedding, well he shed his eye caps but i noticed after the shed that he had some kind of film on his eyes. I didnt like this, i cleaned it with a mild saline and q-tip, and it came off... well i got home this evening and wham he has puffy eyes, i dont think i did anything wrong did i? he started and finished the shed by himself, i didnt touch him until afterward and noticed it. What is it? an eye infection? retained eyecaps? I dont know....i need some help and told if i need to take him to the vet.. or the use of conventional things i have? i dont know and i need guidance, this has never happened before. thanks for your input

Swelling can mean infection...Does the snake have mites? That can also cause swelling on the eyes... If you ask yourself do I need to tak him to the vet then you need to take him. IMO it sounds like antibiotics might be in order...

alrighty i have a serious problem

has already been done, dr rossi took care of him, what it is, is he shed more than one layer of eye cap when he shed, which resulted in a exposed eye shield. there fore causing infection, i have him just like he wants to be in his cage, humidity box , anti biotics, and the amikacin shots to boot, he is doing fine now , but thanks for the reply
