    first shed?

    my snake has not shed yet since ive had him and its been around 4 weeks. lately though he looks really wrinkly and part of his head is starting to shed. is this normal for his skin to look loose and wrinkly?

    Re: first shed?

    when you say his head is starting to shed do you mean that the skin is starting to come off? also, have you seen his eyes turn blue yet? there eyes will turn blue then they will go back to normal then shed a few days later. otherwise, if you suspect he is going into shed i would try to knock the humidity up a little bit. what do you have it at now?

    i am feeding him like once every 6 or 7 days, and he is eating good sized mice and he is eating well. the humidity is from 60-70% at all times.
