Re: Not shedding?
Well, I think I've got him figured out! He just ate his second pinkie; live, but I'm hoping once he's on a schedule I can switch him back to f/t
I'm sure he'll shed soon enough!

Re: Not shedding?
just be sure to switch before he gets to fuzzy... fuzzy are able to defend them self and can hurt a young snake

Re: Not shedding?
The pinkies still look a little big for him, so I'm hoping I've still got a little time before he's onto fuzzies!
Good news- his eyes started getting cloudy today, so I'm hoping he'll be shedding soon! I just wish I'd have noticed BEFORE I went out and got him his weekly pinkie.

Re: Not shedding?
Over time you will learn whether your snake will eat during shed, most of mine will so i still offer food (and if one doesnt eat then another will have a "treat")

Re: Not shedding?
Does anybody happen to have pictures of their snakes right before they shed?
Turns out I was seeing things last time when I thought his eyes were cloudy, but I noticed today that his skin was getting all crumply and a little flakey. I'm concerned that his shed may be stuck, but I could be wrong, as this is my first time dealing with a shedding snake. I might be able to get a picture up tonight.
Any help is much appreciated!

Re: Not shedding?
Do you have a humid hide in your habitat? This can really help if your snake's shed is "stuck."

Re: Not shedding?
I'm still new to snakes, so I wouldn't know how to make one, could you explain? I do have a screen lid, though, so that'll end up making it less humid, right?

Re: Not shedding?
Do me a favour, get a pillowcase. Soak it in warm water. Place snake in the pillowcase and tie it tightly. Place it in the enclosure and leave it for 20 minutes. It should have finished or got a really good start to it's stuck shed.
Next time you notice it, dump a bunch of water from the water bowl on the hot side. It'll help raise the temps in addition to a full water bowl. Once it sheds then clean it up so the snake isn't subjected to prolonged wetness.

Re: Not shedding?
Thanks! I knew I had to do something like that, I just wasn't sure how to go about it.
