    Shedding happens when it happens...no schedule, & nothing to waste time worrying about.

    Thank you for the suggestion!

    Isn't that the best feeling ever!!! Nothing better than to get a reluctant feeder eating again.
    Congrats. Now you can breathe a bit. I've been there - I know how you feel.

    We think we're teaching them but pretty much they're teaching US to pay attention- to what THEY need.

    I can't agree more...after doing tons of research and reading before I got her, I had expectations of how she should act/feed/poop/etc. This just hasn't been accurate so far, and I can tell she's very happy doing things her way.

    All snakes are so different and there isn’t a rule book that could be followed letter by letter as they sure like to throw a spanner in the works now and then .
    It takes time to get to know your individual snake .
    Won’t be long till you think to your self what the hell was I doing all that worrying about
