    Poor snek
    Does anyone else feel bad for their snake when they are in shed? Every time I check on Luna she just looks so miserable. She's in full zombie mode and I know she can't see and must be just so uncomfortable. I'm not bugging her too much just topping off water and peeking in on her to make sure she's breathing lol. Hopefully she has a quick and easy shed so she can get back to her noodley self.

    No...only when I've seen one actually STUCK in their shed...that reminds me of the movie "The Man In The Iron Mask" (1977). :O

    As soon as her eyes clear and colour returns I start spraying the viv two or three times daily .. they shed perfectly a few days to a week after that .. never fails

    Yeah I keep her humidity up and also provide a humidity box with sphagnum moss for her to use if she wishes. She has never had a bad shed before. I think this one will be fine too. I just feel bad for her as I'm sure the process is less than fun for her. I know I'm anthropomorphizing a little bit but I can't help it lol.
