My girl Lucy is wrapped around and starting to shed, she dont wanna move.

Do I move her, so she can have a full shed? http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14...4e9f684f10.jpg

Way blurry sry, but she is just chilling.. What do i do??

Well,

First tidbit of advice is not to handle a snake pre shed. It's not a good time to take them out. The process takes a bit of energy, it's arguably a stressful time for the animal. When my animals approach shed, and the process begins before they go blue, I only change the water. I leave them alone until I find the shed skin. They should not be disturbed although you will find some snakes will take food during shed. Personally, I like to wait the whole process out before feeding. It's a great time to let the snake clear out. No boa will starve if you skip feeding during the entire shed cycle, ever.

It looks like she's wrapped around your shirt?

You need to unwrap her by her tail and leave her alone in her enclosure and bump up the humidity levels and spend as little time messing with her and things in the cage as possible.

I can't remember if it was you who had asked in a previous thread if your animal was in shed. If it was I guess people assumed you knew not to handle it and to leave it be until the process is/was complete.

Is this a new animal in your care? If so and this is the first shed, the animal is dealing with it's new surroundings, a shedding process and possibly climate adjustment factors.

All of that said, boas are hardy animals so don't panic.

Just get the snake back into a secure spot with some moisture.

I'm not quite getting what you are saying here. But just leave her alone when in shed.

You'll be fine.

Lucy shedding, the coolest thing to possibly watch http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14...5b0b477202.jpg
