That's interresting. I also think that a snake depends itself if he want to eat or not. Because sofar we've never had any shedding problems at all. And we've got quite a collection

Re: Thing on Head
Well it shed and looks REALLY good. No shedding problems that I could see. Now it's time to figure out were to find some worms in winter...

I prefer my bait shop, but wanted to remind folks that Petsmart is also carrying nightcrawlers now. They are priced high, but sometimes the gasoline to go to the bait shop makes them cost less overall...

Re: Thing on Head
My local hardware store sells worms, and in the summer it has those coke machine things where you put in a dollar or two and press whatever button you want and your drink comes out, but it's filled with nightcrawlers, waxworms, redworms, maggotish looking things, mealworms; everything.

Random thought....I wonder if that store has many partially sighted customers....

Re: Thing on Head
I don't feed mine when they're going into shed
it's not that they won't eat
they might
but if they don't, I've wasted a rodent
or overfed one of my greedy snakes
