I had to change the 'substrate' or the towels today, because the ones I was using were too thick and not allowing the heat of the UTH to travel through.
Anyway my snake made a break for it behind her vivarium and I had to properly hold onto her so she didn't drop down the back of the vivarium. Anyway, a very small portion of the scales on her back seemed to come off her back and now I feel really terrible. She is just about to go into shed, but now I'm wondering if she'll start eating badly just because I had to handle her and put her in another box temporarily before the 5-7 days of not handling has elapsed.
Will she be okay or will she have a bad shed now? Ah, I am panicking, I wish I'd just left her alone but it was reading too cool on the heat mat because of the thick layers so I felt I had to change it and now I feel so guilty because she was so scared.![]()
