    Shedding issue

    I am not quite sure what to think. I have a juvie in one of my racks who has the hardest time shedding! I have checked temp & humidity over and over again. She is the only one of my snakes who every single time has an issue shedding. Even putting a humid hide in there hasn't helped. Its not that she is not shedding in one piece, she is not shedding at all! Pillowcase & damp towel method hasn't helped either. I have tried putting her in a different tub/rack as well. Any ideas?

    Do you feed her while in shed? That's really the only thing I can think off. When I first got my lesser id feed him while he was in shed, and each time he would have a horrible shed. I caught on three sheds later and did not feed or offer food, and Bing perfect shed. What are you using to measure her humidity?

    Hope this helps- Matt

    I use a big gob of damp spagnum moss for such snakes in its tub during the shedding process. It works great.
