I just wanted to show the glow-up pictures of my Indonesian white (ghost) ribbon eel. Careen.
Sometimes you just know when an animal needs to be removed from a bad situation. He was severely underweight for his length when I first retrieved him, and I was worried he was stunted. I am so happy that the recovery was successful.
(The kink in his jaw went away with antibiotics and careful monitoring. Apparently it was a dislocation that did not reset as it should - common in young morays. Once he put on weight, it shifted back into place and the swelling vanished within a week.) He has now grown from 16 to 22 inches. Happy little Juvie/Adolescent.
