    Will stuck shed keep my BP from eating?

    hey everyone,

    I have to admit, although I watched the humidity like a hawk during my girls last shed, it was terrrible.
    So for about 3 days I had her out doing soaks and having her in a warm, wet towel in my lap...there was still some satuck shed around the bottom part of her neck and her jaw.

    Today was feeding day, she killed the rat, started to eat it, and when she got to the neck of it, she just spit it out.



    Could the stuck shed have anything to do with it? because its on her bottom jaw and neck, it seemed like she had a hard time opening her mouth to put the rat in and just gave up.

    On the rare occasion that I've had snakes have bad sheds, no, it hasn't affected their eating. Unless the eye caps were clouded enough to bug the eyesight, I've not had shedding affect the eating much at all in fact.
