    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I've got an adult Ringed Python with what initially appeared to be a retained eyecap. Upon closer inspection using a magnifying glass, no retained eyecap can be seen . Various techniques (soaking, mineral oil...) were used to try and remove something that just wasn't there.

Any suggestions on an alternate diagnosis?

If it really is a retained eycap the honest best thing to do is to just wait for the next shed. However if you feel that there is one their and it needs to come off the cget a clean paper toel wet in some warm not hot water. Place it on his eye and carefully try to gently wipe it off. I once removed a retained eyecap from a chondro python in this manner and let me tell you he wasn't a very happy customer.
