Re: again!
Hi,
I wouldn't put the pillow case in the hottest part of the cage - aim for somewhere in the middle of the temp range is possible.
I'm probably being over cautious but if the snake cannot escape I always try and avoid the possibility of making it too hot as that carries more risks than slightly too cool for the short period of time we are talking about.
To the OP;
How long ago did the snake start shedding its skin and how much is stuck on it and where?
Are there any reasons it might be having bad sheds? Vet treatments, mites, general stress kind of things?
