Re: Baby ATB That Refuses to Eat
Gave him a mist and checked on him, I could see that it was past his head so he is making progress, just slow progress. Hopefully he has made more by morning!
I literally had no idea he was going into shed. Lol I had even taken him out and checked him out a few hours before I check lastnight and noticed he had started.

Second photo is a weird colour, lol, but I thought it made it look cool.
Re: Baby ATB That Refuses to Eat
I slid some shed off of him earlier, bottom half has it all off, no stuck eye caps, but it's still stuck to his upper half decently. Soak tomorrow if he doesn't get the rest off or if I can't gently slide it off tomorrow.

He's actually really not into biting, if he's sleeping in his vines and you touch him he'll bring his head around with a hiss, but he'll sit there pretty much the entire time postured.. no striking. If you were to poke near his head, or if you gently grabbed him there, he might strike, but he's a decent little guy.
Re: Baby ATB That Refuses to Eat
He's too cute! I'm glad he was able to work the shed off. It's odd that they have such a bad rep for biting, because our little ATB isn't much of a biter either.

Re: Baby ATB That Refuses to Eat
It is good! I'm glad, no soak was necessary.
Yeah, I mean, he is the only ATB that I've ever handled, and he tracks like mad but he has yet to strike at my movie hand. Even when I was sliding the shed off if his bottom half, he didn't try biting, he just peed all over me. Lol He did try to bite when I was messing with the shed near his head though, which is understandable.
I'll keep his humidity up nice and high, I'm not really worried about mold, so if he has another shed still while I have him then it should be a good one!

Re: Baby ATB That Refuses to Eat
We keep our gal in the 70s for humidity, and she's done great.
She's always coiled, but doesn't nip unless you get close to her head, like your little dude. I seriously can't get over their faces! Absolutely precious :)

Re: Baby ATB That Refuses to Eat
It's strange that he had troubles shedding, then. I suppose every snake is different!
I love the bug-eye look they have! Lol

Re: Baby ATB That Refuses to Eat
Crappy sheds happen from time to time, it seems. Even if husbandry is perfect. I'm sure his next one will go much smoother.

Re: Baby ATB That Refuses to Eat
I weighed him yesterday, he is a whopping 24g, WHAT A FATTY! 😉 I wish I had weighed him when I first started snakesitting him, to compare.
He just had two pinkies, and this time he was a hungry little guy! Took each one as soon as it was in front of his face. Yay!
