yay! checked on Kurtz this morning and found a whole bunch of skin...and he was all new and shiny looking! yay! i took it all out and thought hmm..nice shed..then looked in his log and found a huge ball of more skin! my 3.5 foot python leave a lot of skin...can you imagine a giant reticulated! i've only had him for 2 months...my nephew had him for a couple years before me but didn't take very good care of him so i adopted him. first time i've seen him shed! anyway thanks for all your advice! i guess now i can feed him again.
