    hey all, i have no ? this time. instead, its just great news. i noticed last sunday that rexs eyes were cloudy. ive been working my butt off to get the humidity up, and it worked. rex has been staying in his hide for a while and came out tonight. so i decided to see if he shed. i lifted his cool hide and sure enough was a tangled mess of snake skin. so i untangled it, and looked at it, double checked and sure enough, a perfect shed! im so happy i feel lik i did everything right! these reptiles are so awesome! just thought id share this with you all, thx for all your help

    I would have to say that is the best feeling when you see your snake has had a perfect shed.

    Sure, snake sheds frequently still have color to them. I have 5 right here and they all have some pigment to them.

    Are the actual scales coming off? Or is it old stuck-on sheds that are flaking off?

    Are you done with the oil? That could be causing the scales to come off. If you're still using it, then stop. Maybe give him a few good baths in plain water to help get all the oils off his body. Just keep working very patiently with him using nothing but water. Keep his enclosure nice and humid, but not so humid that the substrate is wet. It may take several shed cycles to fully recover from so much neglect.

    Grrrr! He doesn't need to be selling them if he doesn't know any better than that.

    I wasn't in my usual cheery mood and let him have a piece of my mind!

    Good! I hope he learned something from it.
