My snakes are going through their first shed with me and I'm excited. One is actually getting the skin off right now while the other is still in her hide. I've read that some snakes will hold their poop until after they shed, and that's what has happened. The only problem is it doesn't look healthy to me. It's a solid turd surrounded with mucous like substance. The paper towel is soaked. Then an inch or two away he urinated. Is this healthy?
Also as you can see the acurite probe has been peed on. How do I clean it without damaging the acurite, or should I buy a new one?
Also, I know I shouldn't bother him while he's shedding, but the poo was the worst I've seen so I went to clean. I put him in another tub that is exactly like his and right before I picked him up he plopped into his "gift" as if to spite me for bothering him. He got a little on his belly but hasn't shed that part yet. How should I clean him off when he's done? Damp paper towel?
