    Re: Retained Shed Indentication and Treatment

    I looked in on this Iowa albino (T-) maleT.radix - Plains Garter today and gave him a nice big night crawler. Not wanting to see a fight breakout I put him in a tub to finish his meal. Once in the tub I noticed some wrinkles in his skin which was a clear indication of a retained shed. There were no other indicators that he had a retained shed.
    After 30 minutes in a warm shed box I did a manual shed on him. The shed came off with little trouble.

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