OK Christie, first of all, thank you for rescuing that poor little baby! Second of all, while I am FAR from an expert (HELLO ADAM, GET IN HERE & HELP!!!!!) I will try to help a little bit. Typical quarentine is 90 days I believe.

I don't think that it would be a bad thing to get the fecal matter in the tank to the vet although they may want a fresh one. I would DEFINATELY get the snake to the vet ASAP. I would even go so far as to call in for an emergency appointment if possible.

I would think that soaking now would be a pretty good idea. I know that the snake is probably stressed about being moved but if the retained shed has been there for long enough, it could cause circulation problems which could lead to some serious troubles down the road.

Good luck in saving the BP. Keep us posted!
