Re: shedding?
Have a water bowl large enough for 80% or higher humity and something rougth in your viv for the snake to rub against for aiding in removing the old skin and everything should go fine. If your snake does have a problem, go to search on the tool bar above and type"wet bag". This will take you to a prior thread where a members snake had trouble shedding.

Re: shedding?
Donīt worry to much about it.
My garter snakes all shed their skin perfectly and I keep them very dry. A healthy snake mostly sheds without problems. But a waterbowl that is big enough to lay in is always important.

Re: shedding?
Like Thamnophis said, don't worry to much about it. I never do anything special and still have perfect sheds all the time.
If it is needed, you can raise the humidity by misting or I sometimes put a humid towel in a hiding spot of the enclosure for the lampropeltis (If I need to go away and I know she will shed). It create's a very humid area in the enclosure. |
