Yeah, she has a lot of rocks in her enclosure to squeeze under and between so I’m assuming it tore on one of those. At least it’s all off

Yeah, I saw a couple vendors with them at the expo and they’re definitely available online if you look around a little, but they aren’t nearly as popular as, say, California or brooks kingsnakes. I think it probably has to do with the lack of morphs available.

She just had her third shed with me and I think she's starting to get some more yellow to her! However unfortunately, because my house gets dry in the winter, she retained an eye cap and small piece on the back of her neck. It was resolved pretty easily though with a bath and letting her run through a towel, so no worries there, but for the future I think I'm going to go pick up some cypress mulch to exchange with the aspen I'm using. I'm a bit confused though because I offered her a humid hide for this shed cycle, but from the stuck shed it looks like she didn't use it even though she needed the extra humidity

Don't know how I missed the previous photo (back in Nov- oops!) She's lookin' SO lovely.
About the shed, was her humid hide on the warm or cool side? Maybe she wanted the opposite? (most snakes in shed like to be cool, unless they ate recently)

Thank you! I think she looks especially good in the sun
Her humid hide is on the warm end because I noticed in shed she basically doesn’t move from her warm hide (maybe she’s a bit of an oddball with temp preference?). I was actually thinking if the humid hide might not be as warm as she likes it because it puts an extra layer between her an the heat. Either way I hopefully won’t have to worry about this with cypress, plus I think it looks better than aspen anyway
