Loki my mischievous Anery
I bought an Anery corn and named him, Loki (because my other Corn is named Thor) only a few months ago after my candy corn,named Oyster passed from a birth defect.
Anyways, Loki got mites a few weeks ago, so i Ultra cleaned the tank and gave him some baths,.. I thought since the bedding was aspen it was moist and the mites were breeding and living in it. so i went to my local pet store and bought some Brown Reptile Terrarium Liner, but when i cut it out to fit in my tank it started rolling up, so i used tape to keep it down.
the next morning i was getting ready for college, and i felt something in distress and i look in my tank and my snake physically looked melted on to the masking tape! I was in shock, it was my Fault and i was Mortified! i screamed for my bf to awake and help my Loki, he too the tapped snake into the bathroom while I open my laptop to search for HELP.
Then i came across this site with a similar story on this Life saving site and they spoke of using veggie oil, so i run downstairs and grab the oil.
after the incident hes jaw was unhinged and hes skin looked pilled backward on his mouth. , he lost a few scales on he side and hes eye cap popped off, i was crying my eyes out blaming myself , i had no idea tape and snakes DO NOT mix..
I left him alone for days because i did not want to stress him to death and the vet appt was a lot more days away.
2 days later i look in hes tank and hes jaw looked so much better! and he was moving hes tongue so i took him to see a pet store assistant manager who has a lot of experience with snakes and told me my baby was going to survive!!! the only thing is that he could be blind in one eye
I am soo lucky to have Loki with me he is so Amazing!
hes right eye still looks a little smaller, i hope hes able to grow it back, but i love him regardless
