    She looks like she's going through a shed cycle.

    She's shedding. Make sure her humidity stays high for the next few days.

    Normal oncoming shed. Expect a freshly shed snake within a week or so.

    Thanks..I have been keeping humidity at 80% and never dropping below 60%..Now that hopefully shes okay on to other problems..

    what should I do with these dying plants..they are all droopy and not alot keeping them alive. I did take them out of the viv n put in seperate pots. should ibjust throw them out n get new ones or wait it out n see if they survive(from the looks of it very doubtful but may have 2 come out of it).

    Also, to keep the viv alive should I get rid of the uth n repti 2.0 bulb n just use day n night bulbs sincethe plants was surviving fine before the transfrr to new terrarium?

    If your temps were good and the plants were fine I would use the cheapest bulbs possible.

    As for the plants. Its been my expierence that my plants have not come back after they started to die.

    When you remove plants be sure to keep the roots intact. I have some plants in one tank that have branched roots almost a foot long.

    everything was fine in the little tabk but since the move to the big tank 2 weeks agoI havnt quite got everything figured out. I think im just going to use day n night bulbs n get rid of the uth n che n 2.0 bc everything was fine prior to adding these. Any other inout u may have for making my eco system complete? like substrate, drainage layer, screens...where do u get your plants?

    thanks a bunch. you all have been such great help!!!

    My local Petco carries plants, but I have found not all the stores do. I will only buy them when they are fresh. Like their animals they trend to neglect the plants and they end up beyond saving. They have tropical and arid options and are about $2 each so if a snake destroys one or it dies its not a big deal.

    Its funny. My ball leaves the plants alone and crawls around them but my gtp makes it his duty to pull every plant out of place when he comes down for exercise. He has also started swimming in his water bowl regularly. He is a trip.

    This is my bp tank. Just a thick cypress mulch bed.

    yea no stores around me carry them. The petstores that are an hr away do but they are 6.99. I ordered some off Glass Box Tropicals along with some abg substrate to try. Hopefully it works. Thats a nice set up u have there.
