Manasha is looking mighty dehydrated (pix)

My corn just shed and his head and about 3 inches down the top of his back got stuck and then some other random spots. All I did to get em unstuck was take little tub put a little bit like half way up his sides of luke warm water then got a wash cloth soaked in water as well then left him in there for 15 minutes and him moving in and out of the wash cloth got the stuck shed off with ease!

I found these instructions on the forum here when I searched stuck shed. Hope this helps at all! :gj: good luck!

Give her a little time and some peace and quiet and she should come out of most of it. If not, you can gently help her peel it off.

I am waiting and rooting for you both that she gets better. She is such a pretty snake.

can't tell if her eye caps shed tho... hrmph..

What a beautiful shed. A:gj: re her eyecaps not on it?

Tada! Told you it was shed. Looking so much better :)

no they weren't ... :(

If her caps weren't on it. That's ok. Keep your humidity up and wait for the next shed. I'm sure you've seen it in her before but don't Try and remove the caps. Watch you humidity and I'm sure if they didn't come off this time they will next time. It won't bother her at all if they didn't.

thanks! I'm going to try feeding her a hopper tomorrow evening. I offered her a hopper earlier today before the shed and she sortof followed it around with her head but didn't make a move. I removed the hopper after a few minutes. I feel hopeful she'll eat tomorrow now that she has shed. Thank you sooooooooo much!!!

I'm going to be offering her a hopper this evening. Hopefully she's feeling good enough to eat now that the dead skin is off.. Wish me luck!!
