    Haha no they sell a cheaper version of their regular whiskey. It's got a green label, and it says it's "sold in times of economic distress." AKA depression whiskey. And it's not bad, for whiskey anyways. But i digress.

    How about if I just drink a bottle of whiskey? Then hold my snakes while running around naked in my neighbors front yard while screaming about the coming of the demon serpents? :rofl:

    Cheap and accurate. The stickie analog guages you are using to read temps and humidity are not accurate, and it may say 55 humidity and it's probably a lot less, same with the temps.

    Also, here is the caresheet :)

    I'm broadly in favour of this course of action ( mainly because I am a continent away and won't have to see it ) but I should warn you it probably won't cure the mites. :P

    I also take no responsibility for the property values or legal ramifications. :P

    Have fun though. :gj: :bolt:

    What most of the people have been saying is a good idea: give her a nice soak for a couple minutes each day until she can get that shed off. When you take her out, let her crawl through a towel (use your hand and make a tunnel with it and apply LIGHT pressure) and see if that gets the shed off. When my girl had a bad shed I did that, and it worked like a charm, the shed came right off! Higher humidity in the enclosure couldn't hurt either. :gj:

    BE CAREFUL with the water temperature though, what's mildly warm to us is hot to them, so a little hotter than room temperature should be perfect.

    Alright, i soaked her, and now she's mostly shed (just a few inches at the end.) She's really picky, so after trying unsuccessfully to tempt her with a frozen/thawed mouse, i opted to go get a live one, and of course she went right for it, and ate it in half the time she ate her last one. Tomorrow should i soak her again if her skin hasn't come off? or should i give her a few days to digest her delicious meal.

    Give her 2 days to digest, for sure.

    I figured as much. Also, thanks for the thermometer suggestion, that little thing looks pretty badass, i'll have to get one ASAP.
