important shedding question!

[malcontent]

hello....my snake shed just about 2-3 wks ago....and his dullness never went away. could he be shedding again so soon?!?!??! his eyes are not cloudy. so i dont get it...he regurgitated his last feed as well. after the chicken piece i fed him.....bad idea i know that now. but he didnt regurgitate that though. so im worried. should i take him to a vet or does anyone know what could be going on with him?! im worried. :( thanks!!!

piece of chicken??? Why would you feed it chicken?.

[JonD]

Chicken, thats a new one! You probably arn't giving it the right living conditions. What are you keeping it in, what is the temp? I don't even have to ask what you are feeding it....Need more info.

the chicken was already discussed. i had nothing else. it was fine for a one time thing.

ive had him for ages now. his habitat is fine.....temp is fine (80 always has been) i have a heat pad and a heat lamp. i feed him fuzzies. dead thawed blow dried (for warmth) everything is the same as its always been. if i was doing something wrong im sure it would have affected him sooner....

and its in a tank.....i forgot what size. its bigger than better :). on sand....water is always provided......sometimes it seems a bit cold but someone told me if i have a heating pad it should be fine.....

[JonD]

I wouldn't keep it on sand.;)

why not?? people told me this was fine? what could happen!?

[Herpguy2004]

sand can cause impactation and backup of the digestive track.

well i feed him off the sand. in a seperate box. is that not good enough prevention?! i guess ill get him some herpi-carpet.....damn chain pet stores. they dont know poop.
