GloWorm is shedding and he retained an eyecap. Shedding is a very cranky time for snakes, and Green Tree Pythons are notorious for not being handleable or even workable. That dear beast understood I was trying to help him and held still while I misted warm water under his shed skin to loosen it up for him. A snake letting you near his head is the ultimate in trust and my own eyes got misty because he really is an extraordinary animal.
I think we got to it in time to loosen it up and have him shed it naturally. Snakes really are "lower animals" but there is still a spark of divinity in them-I really believe that because I've seen them respond to honest sincere intention to help-and they certainly don't have the brainpower to process that. But they do have the soulpower.

that wasn't: oh dear, glo...
it was: oh, dear little glo....
I am not too familiar with snakes except for the sweet little garter snakes that are in my garden every spring.
Photo's going up tomorrow-Teri-don't look! (but there will be dog photos too, so you might want to look....LOL).
Well, I put Glo's pics up today-they are cool and there was a happy ending.
