:As for the bad shed thing, what does that mean? I have had snaskes eat right before a shed and then regurgitate right after the shed; but that was it. Now I don't feed near a shed. As for BAD shed as you call it, that could mean lots of things, maybe if you describe it more someone else may get a clue. It seems rather a quick time for the snake to shed so soon again, that is if I remember right and you have not had it all that long.

Like I said it is VERY cold here and when the inside temperature is 70 and it is -10 outside it is incredibly dry in my snake room. I always have to soak my snakes up until the last day of the shed. This time I was out of town and the shed came off in tiny pieces and most were still stuck to her when I got home. This is what I mean by a BAD shed. I gave her a humidity box and she settled down. She finished shedding the next day.

Thanks Glenn. Some good ideas. I will try raising the temps and waiting for 2-3 weeks before feeding again. I have a feeling I will end up at the vet soon though.
