Pandora turned dull just under a week ago, went into blue for 2 days, cleared up for 3-4 days and I tried very patiently to catch her shedding. I kept the humidity way up in the 60-70 range for the entire time and soaked her twice to ensure she'd have a perfect shed. I decided to try feeding her yesterday to stick to her schedule and she ate the thing no problem. I check up on her today, look under her hide and guess what I find? A half shed Pandora...
She hasn't left her warm hide since yesterday and didn't even attempt rubbing up against her log to get the shed off, she just did it in her hide. So she had all this saggy excess skin on her body. It's pretty much completely in one piece and I soaked her for a bit to get the rest off and it's coming off pretty smoothly.
I was hoping to also find a poop in there because she hasn't pooped in about a week and she looks like she's about to pop, but no poop =[
So... here's my feeding problems: I've never seen Pandora drink her water or even soak in it, let alone show any interest in doing so. I decided to start spraying her rat pups with a bit of water before feeding to aid with hydration. The last 3 time I fed her, she constricted, gave up for a bit, and then came back to eat the rat after distinguishing it's head from it's butt. I'm thinking maybe it has something to do with me spraying them, but I can't be sure. Before people start telling me I'm feeding her too small, I'm not. Everything I've been feeding her (with the exception of one time) has been rat pups slightly thicker than the thickest part of her body. I don't have a scale yet so I can't tell you their weight, but I know for a fact these feeders have been perfect size. The reptile store I go to get her food from see her often and give me the perfect size rat each time. I just want to know if there's a reason she's eating like this because she never did it before I started spraying them but if I stop spraying them, she'll get dehydrated because she doesn't eat. Also: I know when they're dehydrated, they get folds in their skin when they bend, but how do you tell the difference between normal folds and dehydrated folds?
