Snake Shedding.

[Klaire]

Hi guys, as a new time owner would love some advice. I'm pretty certain my girl is going into shed but would like all of your opinions :)

She has been showing these signs:
- starting to get a little grumpy/snappy
- Darkened extremely from when i got her (W+B) to a darkened tan w/ white belly.
- Eyes gone cloudyish
- Hiding more than usual (No longer comes out at night)
- Has gone off feeding (She ate last week but this week she didn't eat)

I have attached a before (top) & after (Bottom) photo showing her eyes and skin colour :)

She's definitely in shed. Just make sure your temps and humidity are dialed in and give her 7-10 days to do her thing. I don't handle my snakes when they're in shed unless it's necessary. Some snakes will eat and others wont. She'll be looking much better in a few days. :)

Thanks! Yeah she was kinda acting different little moody & skittish when i would hold her then yesterday when i tried picking her up she snapped at me (assuming because she cant see well etc) so i left her alone and intend to do so until she finishes her shed :) Ive been making sure everything is at the right temp & intend on making her a sphagnum moss box to put in her enclosure. I thought that she would so i'm excited for when she finishes her shed to see how her colours come out :)

Yep, she's going to shed. Leave her alone, and make sure her water bowl is filled. She may want to soak in it to help her shed.
