    Couple quick questions....

    First off I just wanted to say our Snickers had her first PERFECT shed last night!

    Last Tuesday we were going to feed her until my boyfriend noticed her eyes had just begun to cloud over and so we held off because we knew she would just refuse her food....anyway we raised the humidity in her vivarium to a range of 65 -75% and last night she shed everything in a single piece which makes us so happy after her last shed which was horrible due to our husbandry.(but we are learning)


    Now for the questions:

    1. Can we feed her tomorrow night while we clean her tank or is that too soon?(she already eats in a separate enclosure because we don't want her swallowing any aspen bedding)

    2. How long is sphagnum moss good for? She has a container of sphagnum moss in her tank along with the tinfoil treatment to keep general humidity up(although we still have to spray her tank down during a shed to keep it around 70%) We also have a humidity hide for her. Anyway....how long can it be used for before it has to be changed out for new moss?

    3. Anyone know of stores(either regular stores or online stores) that sell aspen bedding and sphagnum moss(untreated of course) cheaper than Petco?

    I don't know anything about the moss but you can feed your snake any time now. I have fed mine literally minutes after a shed and she ate fine. Then again I have fed mine when the eyes were totally blued over and she ate fine.
