Shedding

take a picture...


i dont think ive ever seen a snake begin to shed and not at least try to finish unless it was really sick.

Sorry, I don't have a digital camera. =( She's acting fine.. Flicking her tongue and exploring everything. From the tip of her nose to behind her eyes, she shed that already, but you can see the old skin behind her eyes where it starts and then the rest of her looks very dull (because of the old skin) except for a few pieces that have already been shed. Her belly is flaking off a lot of pieces but they only pull off easily up to the colored part. I've tried rubbing the skin off of her head, but I didn't want to try too hard and squish her, you know? but it won't come off. Should I take her to a vet?

When mine had trouble with shedding in a million piece and some of it still stayed on him, I let him soak for about 15-20 minutes and when I took him out, all but one little piece was still hanging on which was removed very easly.

What kind of water bowl do you have? I use a 5 quart rubbermaid container with a hole cut in the lid, and about 2 inches of water in it. Mine likes to get in it and hide and soak. Just got to make sure the water dosent get to cool. I have mine partially over the heat pad to keep it at a decent temp.

Make sure you get that humidity up there when all of this blows over.
