Here's the upside. Our boa was in the blue a few days ago and we knew he'd shed soon. Shortly after the power came back on, my fiancee wet him down and he immediately started shedding. Once he finished, he took dinner with no issues. Our beautiful little pin took her first frozen thawed (hair dryer activated) meal. She'd been eating live only prior to now. This was a wonderful night overall. We're happy, the babies are happy...everyone is happy. Yay!
