Scale Rot and Should I Take Her In?

The cheapest near me is 70 for walking through the door. Everything else is extra. And that's per animal.

When I took my GTP to one I was charged a first time visit fee. :mad: In my mind it seems like a first time visit should earn me a discount to encourage me to come back. Then they had the standard office fee, xray fees, meds, and the nonsense that gets added to the bill in the way of other fees like waste disposal. If I remember correctly it was right around $300 total for that one visit.

*sigh* I'm seeing if it comes off any over the next shed (happening right now). Is it normal for her to be sliding back and forth so...harshly?

She's pushing pretty hard and the shed has been in that same spot around her neck for about 2 hours now. http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/16/01...6033514c4a.jpg http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/16/01...b893081002.jpg She got the head part completely off with eye caps and that weird fleck I pointed out by her eye in my other post is gone. http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/16/01...d9e3f3ad78.jpg Even though my humidity is alright, this shed seems to be going worse than the last one...

Then the humidity is not alright. Boost it now and mist her and the tank. If you have moss in the hides make it damp.

Her skin looks dry to me. When mine shed the skin is super soft and feels almost moist.

Yeah, she looks pretty dry. Raise the humidity.

I can't. I've misted her tank 3-4 times in the last couple hours and it's still at the same place. It stays at about 50%. I don't have moss but I do have the paper towels and the hide is obviously more humid than the rest of the tank and that's the closest I can get in this place.

Your water bowl looks a little low. It won't do anything drastic but I've found a full water bowl helps bump up humidity a tad

Probably should fill the water bowl and mist it some more perhaps. If there's an open top, put damp paper towels or a towel over the top so it doesn't evaporate/dry out so quickly. If it's really dry (and from the looks of it, can dry out quick), you might wanna just mist it so it seems wet/really damp. Your bark doesn't look so damp.

Another thing if you don't have moss is wet-damp (squeezed out) paper towels. If she spends a lot of time in her hide you can put one in there too.
A new snake I got that was going through a rough shed I stuck in with a bunch of moss and paper towels (REALLY wet) in a little tuperware type thing, with room for her to move around and nudge the shed off, worked like a charm and she was much happier after.

Sometimes they get pretty wild with rubbing onto things, it doesn't look worrisome to me at least

Then again I'm nowhere close to an expert, just trying to help out!



Also, could someone link to the $40 stats? Or a thread with a good setup in terms of dimmer/tstat for temp and humidity control- I'm looking to getting a better setup than I have, though not hundreds of dollars like I've been seeing

Thanks. I do already have the paper towels in the hides. I just covered most of the top with foil but I'll try damp towels instead.
