Ok Ozzy's eyes cleared up yesterday so I have been watching like a hawk because I really wanted to try and catch him shedding to observe it.
So tonight i check on him around 10:30 and he doesn't even look close so I come back about 11:15 and he is done !
Nice good shed all in one piece still really wet feeling in a prefect little ball
How do they do it so fast ???
I was hoping to find a bowel movement as well but no dice, it's been since mid Feb since he has gone and in the meantime he has had 3 mice
before that he was going about every 2 weeks.
Is this normal to go so long???
Jeez, never thought I'd be worried about a snakes bathroom habits :)

Here is something gauranteed to work. Soak him in warm water for about half an hour or so. And watch the magic that is snake poop.
-
luke warm bath might get the poopies movin, but seriously don't worry about your snake not taking a crap. there is really no telling when they'll do it. i assure you, your snake will poop. lol.

Yes indeed, my little angel had her first poopie in daddy's house during her "Help daddy I am havin a bad shed" bath. She peed too!

Yes I woke up this AM to a gift from Ozzy. You were right Wizill :)
Do any of your snakes have a favorite spot where they always poo???
Ozzy goes to the warm hide to poo and pee or always very close to it.

Yup -- all mine seem to prefer the warm side, now that you mention it, but then they get as far away from it as they can. :)

If it's a good shed, which Ozzy's obviously was, it doesn't take long at all. They'll rub their heads on something to get it started, then slide right out, turning their old skin inside out. (Sorry if I'm stating the obvious here, but I was fascinated when I discovered that.)

Congrats on the perfect shed!! That's always an excellent sign of good husbandry!
-
Yes congrats on the perfect shed, may your BP give you all the crap and sheds your heart desires. :lol:

Thanks guys. I will take all the good sheds but i don't know about the crap, Beaglegod, I can do without that :)
Man, I still want to actually see him shed, thats got to be neat to see.
