Hi all,
Ok, I'm starting to get a bit worried about Paulie -that is my pretty snake's name! First time I noticed that she is about to shed was last week Thursday. Blue eyes, faded colour etc. I started handling her less, mist the cage a bit, replacing water and then on the advice of Viperkeeper: new substrate: Crushed peach / apricot pips - apparently! On Monday eve I fed her a nice dark small fuzzy - she was all over the place for that feed, obviously a bit blinded, but the way she carried on was like she never was going to feed again! She scuffed it down, no problem. But since the weekend she has become completely lethargic, placid barely moves out of her hide. I try to encourage her a bit, without stressing her out. And up to now, no shedding yet. Neither can i find any evidince that she has been going about at night, that cage, the waterbowl, substrate everything seems to be completely untouched. I am worried now... is she having trouble shedding maybe? Should i take her to an expert? Or should i just relax and wait it out a bit?
Please give your honest opinion? That is why i'm on this site, to get opinions from reptile lovers with experience and more.
Thank you for the advice and the help thus far...
