Howdy there folks.
Last Thursday I headed off to England and didn't get back to Tuesday. I discovered that my Mexi Milk had went into blue. I'm a little concerned though as I'm not sure how long he was in blue (he wasn't when I left). I did put in a moist hide before I left. The problem is though that his skin is still dull whilst his eyes seem to have cleared. There also seems to be white rings around his eyes.
I handled him briefly this afternoon and he seemed alert enough and felt strong. However when I was putting him back in the viv he had a long drink of water, at the end of which he sort of blew a bubble and sneezed. I'm not sure what's going on.
When I was away my dad was changing the water and keeping an eye on the temps, which are all as they should be.
Any help or advice is greatly appreciated |

Many thanks, Colin had a perfect shed last night. Once again I got to watch, and once again I didn't get pictures. Duh! |

Doesn't sound like anything to be worried about from your description. The rings around his eyes are probably just where the old layer of skin has seperated from the new underneath. As for the blowing of bubbles and sneezing that is equally likely to be just some old loose skin stuck in his nose. I wouldn't be suprised if he shed either tonight or tomorrow.
Obviously you are right to ask questions when you are not sure and you should keep an eye on him just in case but I'd be willing to be that after he sheds he will be back to normal  |
