Re: House Guest

Although i agree in hindsight that wet soil is probably not ideal, any soil in its natural enviroment could have bacteria so maybe its best kept in captivity until the wound heals, i do think the snake needs some kind of substrate as if you leave it on the floor of a cardboard box it will move excessively trying to get traction,A fine spray is useful when snakes are shedding ,the humidity helps the shedding process.A glass tank is easier to get the humidity required.As the eyes are clouded it sounds as if this snake is ready to start shedding.Also if the snake has injuries it may not shed its skin easily.
