Sounds like a song title, but that's exactly what my BP has done. I was expecting a shed earlier this week, so not only is this shed late, but Patriot has looked dead a couple of times this past week or so, and I really had to look for his breathing. (Thankfully, he ate fine last week.)

Usually he doesn't leave his hide for a full week before shedding, but this time it lasted nearly 2 weeks. Instead of his usual BP curl, I've found him several times kinda curled/kinda sprawled out, with his neck straighter than usual and head lying flat on the bottom. His old skin has looked like a grey net ready to come off for days, but nothing till today. He just didn't look normal.

Now that it's gone cold and dry, I've been battling to keep temps and humidity up for 2-3 weeks. I was expecting a bad shed (and yesterday was worried that there would be no shed at all), yet today he had his best shed ever! Does a perfect shed always indicate good husbandry?

My question: What effect does low humidity have? Does the snake not shed at all, or does it come off in raggy pieces? Does the snake shed later than usual, waiting for the humidity to improve? (Seems to be what happened this time.)

Now that he's shed and let loose a massive pee, he's out and about looking for dinner for the first time in nearly 2 weeks, like he's back to normal. Whew!
