    Shedding = No movement?

    Ok, I figured out why the Spider I purchased from Jon only ate the first day I had him. For the past 10 days he's been in shed. Just opened his tank last night, because he hasn't moved from his spot in a while, and his eyes are going out of the blue cycle and his skin is super dull.

    Hopefully after he sheds he'll eat. I had a question here, I dunno if he's not moving because he's about to shed.. but he doesn't come out at all... Vincent did a little bit, but is it common for them to not move a lot while in shed?

    Thanks,
    Dan

    Re: Shedding = No movement?

    When mine are doing the shed thing, from blue to complete shed, they are pretty reclusive except to eat.
    That said, all of mine are fairly reclusive most of the day given that they are nocturnal!! In the evening and in the early morning they are all active, but the opaque ones remain hidden.
    Your snake is perfect and doing exactly what it ought to do!! When mine are in blue, and until they shed, I bump my humidity to about 72% because I live in a very dry high desert. If I left my humidity at 50% the shed would be a disaster (as I found out with the very first shed one time). Bumping it up gives my snakes perfect sheds 100% of the time.
