I totally solved the 40 gal tank issue. I decided to simply give my snake less room! 3 hide spots, bowl of wet moss, water dish and a really cool branch. I took her into the shop today where it was purchased for me, and the owner told me that she is in excellent health and very happy and friendly but needed a soak. She wasnt shedding or anything, but the dude determined that it was due. (Im sure living in vegas makes a bif diff). OMG she does NOT like baths, lol. Ive never seen her move so fast trying to escape before i put the screen on! I was totally cracking up, but i got her in. She was so friendly at the shop, even a customer who was with her bf and didnt care for snakes actually wanted to hold her! I feel like a proud parent.....lol.
