    Popping back in and I have to say...everything that I was going to recommend has already been said

    Craigafrechette and Deborah REALLY know what they are talking about.

    The "tenting" on the neck only appears that way because of the stuck shed. Once that is off, it will look better. There always is a bit of slightly looser skin there. When they eat, that area has to STRETCH quite a bit, and then goes back down to a somewhat skinny neck. So the skin has to be able to conform to that.

    I agree, snake really does look quite healthy, and I don't think you will have to do much more, therapy wise, then to get the old shed off.

    Regarding feeding and husbandry, like Craigafrechette pointed out, more privacy will go a LONG way. I agree, black out the sides, back and top. The enclosure itself should resemble a large "hide" with only the front "open". Then additional hides and stuff to give privacy. That will help with the animal relaxing and being willing to eat.

    Once the husbandry is correct, the less you do, the better! I would wait at least a week AFTER you adjusted the habitat and got the shed off.


    edited to say: while I was typing my reply, another few posts were made, also wonderful advice there
