    Re: WC Litter (DUW)

    A sink full of warm water and a good soaking should help that shed come off. Once shes soak for a few minutes you can just pull it off. I sometimes hold them under running warm water and peel the old skin off. The water will go under the old skin and it will fill up like a balloon, making removal much easier.
    To be honest I am still having trouble seeing the kinks. Can you get a side shot of the kink area? Thanks.

    They are not just snakes. They're garter snakes.

    I tried soaking her, it wouldn't come off. I'm afraid of holding her under running water, she's really, really tiny. I will try though. I'll also see if I can't get someone with actual nails to see if they can help her.

    I'll get a side shot of her when I get home. There is one really large lump and then a kink to the right.

    One more question, when do you think they'll be ready to eat? I mostly deal with Old World Colubrids and Pythons. While I've raised Garters before, none quite this small. Thanks for the help!
