Not Shedding??

[Light of Dae]

k so I've been real busy as of late, Rescued a giant belgian horse n all UPDATE my snake still has not shed... I even put her in a box with a couple warm wet towels to try n see if she would, to no avail though. I have noticed an appetite decrease as well... hasn't eaten anything for 9days now. When I offered a scented pinkie she was really eager about it, kept 'nipping' at it but wouldn't take it. And today gave her some worms and yay she ate one... mostly when it was almost all the way down, she decides to spit it up. I don't get it. Temps are all good, she looks like she wants to eat but she just freaking won't!!! Grrr... Any ideas? I'm completely lost here..

Still hasn't shed since the birth shed (she's 5days away from being 3months old)
Is now on a hunger strike...
Tank temps are perfect, she almost seems lazy...???

They sometimes stop eating just before they shed. That's what our big girl Binky does. Last shed she refused food for about 8 to 10 days, shed, then ate like it was going out of style.

Throwing up a worm isn't normal under most circumstances, especially when it's almost down.
Was it a extra large worm?

[Light of Dae]

It wasn't too big I don't think... It was about 1 1/2 inch cut worm, thick though... she's at least a foot n a half... she had just the end of the worm sticking out... then out it came... It wasn't even a 'lively' worm that was fighting her...

[Light of Dae]

I mean cut worm as in cut up earthworm... not an actual 'cut worm' lol just to clarify

You might try some smaller pieces just to see if she'll keep them down.

You say that this snake has never shed, but has grown to a foot and a half? I'm not sure that is physically possible. None of ours are quite that big yet but they've shed at least twce each. Binky has grown from 34cm to 38cm and gone from 14g to 18g in about 4 weeks and has shed twice. Lightning is a month or so younger is growing slightly quicker and has also shed twice.
To go from birth to 45cm without shedding sounds rather unlikely to me. Other with more experience will be able to comment as to whether this is impossible or not.

well I've had her since she was two weeks old, she was the biggest of all the babies... She's closer to a foot an a quarter. and every time I've cleaned her tank I ain't never seen a shred of evidence that she has shed. and I know what a shed skin looks like. but Like I said she's doubled in size since I've had her.

[guidofatherof5]

I would say you missed a shed in there.
I can't say I've had any snakes double in size without at least one shed.

hmm.. Could it have been completely disintegrated because I had been using sand? When I changed out the sand for aspen I didn't notice anything outa the blue...?
