I'm now about a month into my first snake experience. When her eyes went blue on Saturday, I dove into all the reading I could find on here about the shedding process. I did some quick math, and noticed that if everything went well, I might expect a Christmas surprise. I've been misting the tank to keep it above 70%, and after I got home from dinner last night, she had left me my gift. I was a little worried about keeping the levels up in a glass tank, but the shed came out perfectly.






After that, since this only left her a day past her normal feed schedule, I decided to give her her own Christmas dinner. I know this small rat is a little bit large for her, but these are the smallest f/t rats I've been able to find. She has been swallowing them without issue, so I just turn the belly heat up for a few days, and let her have them. She came from Petsmart, and was underfed there (they recommended a small mouse once a week, which is clearly waaaaay too small).



I've also got her Animal Plastics T8 on the truck for delivery today, so I get to put that together this afternoon. Unfortunately, the glass for it still hasn't shipped, so I have to wait awhile before she can go in it.
