My female CRB has a shedding problem, I think. Up till now she's always shed fine, but now she doesn't LOOK like she's shedding, but patches of shed are comming off her. Her humidity requirements have always been met... what can the problem be?

set up a shed box, if they need it they find it if not they usually ignore it.

If I recall correctly from a post you made in the General Forum, you are battling a bit of a mite problem right now? Mite infestations are a cause of frequent and incomplete sheds in snakes..................

Could that be what it is? But anyway, its a relief to know the Black Knight is FINALLY on its way! I was about to just use Nix, but now that I know the Black Knight is almost here, I'm going to wait a few days.
Ugh, I can't wait till this is OVER!!!! Damn mites...
