    Freshly Shed Rescue Girl

    Here's Sydney again but she had a full shed last night. It's her first here and it was perfect which is nice after 3 years of bad sheds. Poor girl probably thought she was in heaven. I'll post before and after pics for comparison. She's also the darkest snake in my collection so if anyone has any ideas on what a good pairing might be for this coming season, let me know. Never had normals but I know that despite not being morphs, their color can still have an effect. Currently have a pastave and a pastel enchi boy. I tend to prefer the lighter/brighter morphs so this girl stands out like a sore thumb.

    Before:


    After:


    I think I see a flame... Maybe...

    Belly pic. It's a yellowish cream color in reality with a couple funny spots in places.

    so if anyone has any ideas
    Increase your humidity.

    I've only had 1-2 bad sheds in 20+ snakes in the last few years.

    She looks so happy in her new skin . Since she is a little on the darker side, I'd think she'd make some nice Mojaves and Pastaves. Or just do a who's your daddy clutch and pair both boys with her. That would be fun .

    She looks very happy with all that nasty shed gone! Good job

    I would probably do a who's your daddy clutch too. Both boys are good candidates

    Are her eyes swollen in the after shots (like there's fluid building over and around eye)? I ask because your third pic reminded me of one of my guy's eye.

    Congrats on giving her a good shed! I'm sure she appreciates it.

    I've never had shed issues here but her previous owners kept her in a tank that was bone dry. They said she was almost always in shed, probably because it would take a month just for her to finish rubbing off the old one. She had a perfect shed here only a couple weeks after arriving so I'm happy. No underlying issues either thankfully except her one eye is still slightly dented.

    A who's your daddy clutch might be fun. Never did that with my corns or I'd never know who was het for what. That or I'll get a cinnamon boy for her. Thanks for everyone's input.

    No fluid but that one is still a bit dented. The milky look has gone away so I'm guessing it's just still healing after all the bad sheds she was put through. She's eating, active, and no signs of infection so I'm just letting her shed it to see how it progresses.
