... set off his flash on his camera whilst taking pictures of my baby milk snake.. i went a little mad at him cause she froze, then secreted on my bed. i put her straight back in her viv and am going to leave her be until tomorrow.
I'm really worried about her, will it have caused any damage??
I hope she'll be okay  |

| It can affect albino's quite badly, but if it was for a split second I would try not to worry to much. How close was the camera to her face? |

she seems to be nosing around the warm area, i just turned the room light on [i've turned it off for her to relax a little] and she was around the back of her warm hide. i placed my finger on the tank near her and her head turned. that's reassured me a little. at least she's not blind right?? i feel so guilty for letting it happen:( i know it was an accident but i've been so gentle with her so far, only had her for 2days :(

| she's kipping in her cool hide right now, haven't seen her much this morning, but last night an hour or so after the incident, she was exploring her tank and burrowing in her chippings so she seems okay! i think i'll leave her be for most of today. |

I think she'll be fine, it only happened once and I would think prolonged flashing bright lights might effect her, but not just one.
Snakes are generally quite hardy so don't worry too much. |
