Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

You may be right, but I was thinking he still has a retained cap on each eye. I already removed one from each eye. He blued within 1/2 hour of being in an actual environment with a little humidity, and has stayed that way. I notice a little puffyness around his eyes, but have to use a pistol scope or something to see better. He's just so damn little. I don't want to hurt or stress him any more.
I have heard of people using scotch tape to remove them before, but I am hesitant to try it.
Thanks everyone for the cheers. He is looking a little better already. We'll give him his go, and see what happens.
Thanks again,
Rick

Awww......I didn't realize just how tiny the poor guy is, seeing him next to a Qtip really adds perspective.
Lucky is a very fitting name, for sure.

Over the years, especially when I had my shop and was dealing with doofuses aplenty, we used duct tape. If it's just a retained eyecap, a piece of sking that is already detached and simply needs removing, you need something REALLY sticky to get it off.
Duct tape has soooooooooooooooooooo many uses, eyecap removal being merely one of the more obscure.

Thanks Wes. I don't want to try it till I am SURE it's a retained cap, but nice to know that method may work out.
Some news, I stuck him last nite with another dose of Baytril, and he actually BIT me. LOL Funniest thing I ever saw watching him try to fit his mouth over my thumb. Than he put on a GREAT BIG display of a hissy fit for around five minutes. Pretty loud noise from a guy who can't breath that well right now. I was expecting something to come flying out. LOL Needless to say, I'm taking that as a good sign, and a thanks from Lucky.
Thanks again for all the support.
Rick

Right on the money bud! I caught him trying, but I wanted to make sure he got the caps off, so I helped him with his head, and let him finish it out. He's kinda purty actually. LOL
How's he look now?
Look fow frikin dark his tail bands are..............
I think he's gonna do just fine. I gotta get him to eat though. I'm sure he'll be doing that pretty soon.
Enjoy the pics.

Can't believe nobody has replied to this. He looks awesome, you did a fantastic job. I kept expecting the next post from you to be a death notification. I am so happy he made it through. I was wondering if he has he eaten yet?

His mouth looks so much better, he looks like a different snake already. He's lucky you found him. The name is very apt.
