Very sick Baby. Help!

[Bogertophis]

I think my question was is this over handling? And also she did shed in the middle of this. When they gave her first shot she immediately started shedding and she only got her eye caps off Tuesday. Her shed started from injection site down.

sorry I think if these things as I go.

I got her from an expo. She is a fire spider and vet said the spider could make her more susceptible to infection possibly as well. She doesn’t show wobble

If you were handling her before she ate 3 times, yes, definitely over-doing it. As far as after she ate 3+ times, daily is still a lot, & a month isn't very long for a new young snake. It's best to increase handling more gradually, as they seem to tolerate it better.

Handling is something many of us disagree about- you'll see many posts that say "keep it short" (like 15 minutes), but in my experience, snakes are most stressed when being picked up, & when being set back down. Try to remember how it felt when you were a little kid & that obnoxious uncle hoisted you up under protest. With snakes, you can tell that is stressful for them because that's when most bites occur. Think about it from their perspective- and 15 minutes, they have no time to relax & learn you're safe to be around. Personally, I tend to sit down & relax while holding a snake, & spend a longer time so they feel sheltered & safe.

The one angle where keeping it short is a good thing is when it's warm weather, because remember that with our added body heat, a small snake can more quickly become overheated- but they have no way to signal that other than keep trying to crawl away from restrictive hands. (Rather frustrating to be a snake, eh?)

Shedding after injection: Snakes shed when they grow, but also as a result of healing an injury or fighting illness- unlike us, they don't make localized repairs. As I said, medications (injected or otherwise) are hard on a snake's body.

If the vet said that the spider gene could make her more susceptible to infection, he or she would know better than I would about that- ask him/her to explain.
