Second Snake!

We got another snake a few days ago. Almost the same situation as our first- adult female, tank and heat lamp included. She was covered in dry, pealing shed. She has a tight cross mark on her right eye from eye cap retention; I hope she is not permanently blind. :(
I sat down with a warm wet towel and rubbed off all the dry shed and I think I got off all the old eye scales. Her eye... not sure how well she can see, it is definitely dented. Maybe time and a few good sheds will heal it.
We've named her Rahja and our other female Tika. We took them both outside today and let them play in the grass. They loved it! I don't think either one of them had ever been able to do that before. Neither of them wanted to go back inside. We'll have to bring them out whenever we can on nice warm days! :)
