    Re: Injured Rough Green Snake!!! =[

    Yes good luck, smooth green and rough green snakes are insectivores, hopefully they do not rely too much on sight (motion) to trigger feeding responses.

    Re: Injured Rough Green Snake!!! =[

    Hm... Is it possible he was bitten by a cat? He looks to have some puncture-like marks on his neck, and I don't think a car would hurt just the eye like that... The reason I ask is because a cat bite has a really high chance of getting infected. Normally I would suggest Neosporin WITHOUT painkillers to prevent infection, but I don't know since it's on the eye.. Does anyone else know if that would be okay?

    A good thing to watch is tongue-flicking. Generally a snake doing a lot of tongue-flicking doesn't feel sick. That's probably the best indicator you can just see of whether or not he's got an infection.

    I have an adult garter that is blind. Whenever I feed him, I have to knock his food on the glass so he can locate it through vibrations and often I have to scent it or tear it open so he can smell it. It's not difficult at all once they get used to being hand-fed.
    Good luck with him and keep us posted!

    You can put neosporin on his eye, just a very small amount and make sure it's not in or can get in his mouth, that can harm them.
