I certainly wouldn't call myself an expert, but I at least understand husbandry pretty well -- thanks to this site.
I'll be continuing with small meals, as she couldn't really even wrap a pinky very well (she's too weak).
The humid tub she's in now has already gotten rid of almost all of the stuck shed. After she eats a few more times, I'll give her a couple good soaks and see if we can get her to get those eyecaps off. I wonder how many layers are there...
It really is appalling how the lady was so surprised that I thought this rescue was skinny! She couldn't believe that my snakes that are the same length are at least 4 times bigger around! She just thought everything was just hunky dory. Wow, really lady?
Slow and gentle is the way I'll go. Just another thing I'll have to have patience on and update when there's significant change. I sure hope that's only 2 months away...in any case, I'll update when she's doing really well, or--heaven forbid--if she doesn't make it.
Thanks guys for all your help and comments.
