First shed with us and weight gain
Kasi had her first shed. I noticed her color was getting dull and on Sunday her eyes were very cloudy. I checked on her every other day this week and made sure the humidity was between 70-75. When I went to check on her last night she was in the cool hide and I saw something out of the hot hide. We found a shed that looks like a rolled up very dirty sock. We checked Kasi over and she looks great. Is that normal for the shed to be like that? We had thought it would look like the baby corn snakes one full long piece. She has not pooped since she came to live with us, is it possible it's in the shed?
We weighed her and she gained a little over 40 grams in a month. She was being fed a rat every 2-4 weeks. After posting about her when we first got her we moved her to every 7 days. She has had 4 40 gram rats since she has been with us. Is that a decent weight gain?
Re: First shed with us and weight gain
The shed is fine and the snake could have left a poop in it. Sheds don't always come out as an unrolled roll of toilet paper, sometimes they come as a bunched up dirty sock as you have witnessed.
As for growth, I will differ to someone who has more experience in how fast a ratsnake grows.
Also roughly how long is your snake? How old is she? What is her current weight? What size rats are you giving her? <<< I assume these answers will help determine whether she is growing well.

50% humidity while not in shed is completely fine, a lot of people like to bump the humidity up to 70% when shedding or you could just provide a humid hide.
