Re: Help! Really concerned about our baby rosy boa

Here are a few pictures of Cinder, she's looking a lot better, but I don't see any signs of clouding eyes or anything. Right now she's laying in the middle of her tank with just her head burrowed...is that normal? Maybe because I had to disturb her to check to make sure she was okay, I freaked her out?

There would be no way to tell without a significantly brighter picture, and maybe not even then, if she's entered the phase of shed cycle in which the eyes clear up prior to actually shedding the skin.

If she is lethargic due to shed, yes, she might just sit there instead of hiding herself. It's best to handle as little as possible during ecdysis, to avoid damaging the new skin forming under the old. Also, you didn't mention your temperature range. That would be good to know.

A suggestion? Switch Carefresh to shredded aspen (I find Carefresh to be inconceivably dusty).
