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?.

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.....

I wouldn't keep it on sand.

sand can cause impactation and backup of the digestive track.
