Handling While Shedding?

Hi all, thanks for the feedback. Patriot ate yesterday too, blue eyes and all, although she's recovering from probably never having been fed enough in her brief lifespan.

I haven't seen her out much this week, so I'll follow her lead. It's just so hard to be hands-off a brand new pet whom you want to heap the loving on, y'know? Bloomin' snakes! http://bestsmileys.com/love1/3.gif

BTW, Kaorte, thanks for all the helpful answers you've given to this clueless newbie these past couple of weeks. You're one of the most helpful people here, to everyone! Alas, I didn't know what that "Thanks" button was for at the time. Consider yourself thanked an extra couple dozen times from me, LOL! http://bestsmileys.com/textinbubble1/25.gif

Thats great that she eats during shed, some of mine will and some wont. yeah wait till your first morph, that's when the trouble usually begins.
Now just make sure your humidity is good and wait to see your awesome looking fresh-shedded snake. they look so great after there sheds.:)

I can't wait to see her as I can't get over how D-U-L-L she's become. Thank goodness humidity is good here, being a stone's throw from the coast. It's always around the 70% range in the tank, without any misting or anything.

And don't you start tempting me with morphs! I'd probably love to have a dozen snakes, LOL! But out of all the morphs I've seen, the plain ol' Normal is still my fave. :)

ya, i just leave mine alone.. not a precautionary move, but they're just lame when i do LOL.

my norm still licks and looks around, but she stays put. adorable, but not as fun as when she explores my labyrinth of towels, playn hide'n'seek :D

Same here. I just held ours for about 20 minutes, and it didn't unfurl at all. It's gaining weight nicely, so I'm dying to see how much more filled out the body is. Patience, patience...

Still took about a dozen photos, though. :)
