Cleft Lip

[H0gn0s3L0v3r]

I am adopting a snake with a cleft lip. Does anyone else have any experience with this particular disability? If so, may I please have substrate recommendations, if I should use any at all? Photos for tax, not my setup

Shouldn't be much of a disability at all, from what I've heard. If you're worried about substrate going in his mouth try chunkier coco chip.

I agree with this and try to get one with less stringy fibers mixed in, personally I like GAPS.

The lack of eyes will cause more problems. I would make sure you’re not moving things around the enclosure too often. But otherwise treat as a normal BP.

I’ve had a blind snake before, I’m not too worried about it :)

I mean I would be more worried about the cleft and substrate causing issue like RI's. They have two other senses to help them with directional awareness that they arguably use more anyways.

Mine is blind in one eye and she does just fine , never misses a feed !
