    Soaking will strip her of the natural oils that acts like a lubricant between the old skin and the new skin. Soaking before a shed will lead to a poor shed.

    Many snakes poop when they shed, so I wouldn't worry too much about your snake yet.

    OK thanks. She is starting to get a lighter glossy pigment to her skin. I was worried about bowel thing because usually 2 or 3 three days after feeding she's out and about. This time however she hasn't come out of her hide for 6 days except maybe to drink but I haven't even seen her do that. I am on disability so I'm home almost all day to keep an eye on her.

    Is this normal behavior if she is going to start shedding soon, and if so how long should this period last?
