What kind of tub do you use for your snake? Do companies make them with perfectly clear sides so you can still see in, or do they all have cloudy sides? One more thing, is it normal for them to be a lot less active when preparing to shed? Im almost positive that he is, and he hasnt been out from behind his logs and vines since wednesday when I fed him. Thanks agian for the responses.
Some snakes are less active when they are going through their shed cycle. I use Iris brand tubs and a lot of people also use Sterlite brand. Both are pretty clear. Do you have a thermostat regulating your UTH? Oh wait, is it a human heating pad? Yowzer!~if so, you'll need something to regulate it becuase they get so hot they will cook your ball!
