She’s definitely going into shed right now which of course would be the one variable I didn’t anticipate when moving Gerald’s cage. I think honestly some of it is food related. Some of it could be an irritation issue with something related to her face. Unfortunately the worthless vet in town is “uncomfortable seeing a snake over 4-5feet” so I’ll have to make an appointment with a vet close to two hours away to rule out that variable.
It could be she needs more stimulation in her environment and I may try perches to solve that. But given that I’m moving in a few weeks and have a job interview across the country around the same time I have to budget my time and efforts differently for the moment. Currently have her cage on room ambient temps with flexwatt hot spot keeping her at 78-79* and 85-88*. Humidity it pegged at 80% because thank you Mississippi balminess hah.
My friend that has bred these snakes in the past has kept telling me that sometimes they just push and that’s how it is. That they’ll heal themselves just fine with food and heat. I can never help but fear for the worst because that’s who I am. I think she might have an issue with something in her face but until I can get her to a *qualified* reptile vet with retic experience I can’t say for sure.
I appreciate all the thought put into this issue with all of our collective research and experience though guys! This will get figured out in time or I will go bald trying!
