    more shedding questions...
    So he has been all wrinkly and whitish looking for a few days. When I first saw him looking like that I was like "HE'S GOING TO SHED!!" and watched, only to see nothing happening. He has been going around his enclosure way more than he did when he was in blue/dark stage after that. Is it normal for him to have a few distinct "lines" of wrinkles running down his body? Is it normal for him to be wrinkly at all? I spray the enclosure a lot to give adequate humidity (60-70%) - he hates when I spray him directly - but should I give him a bath?

    I was scheduled to feed him Sunday, but haven't yet because he was in blue, and then in the shedding stage. I figured that was the right thing to do, but now I read about someone offering food no matter what on the scheduled day. If I offer a (f/t) fuzzy mouse and he takes it, will the stretching of his jaw help to shed off the skin?

    This is my first snake and my first shed and *I read through the shedding article many times*... I'm just nervous... can anyone reassure me, or if not just tell me what I'm doing wrong...?

    sounds like the snake could use a nice long soak

    How are you measuring humidity/temps? Are your gauges digital (electronic), dial, or tape?
