another Q about my new bredli!

hi guys i just have a few more questions!!

Q1- i have my water bowl at the cold end of my click clack, the cold side seems to be fogging up and im not sure why. i put the water bowl in yesterday and i woke up this morning and she has had her first shed and her first poo under my care, it was a full shed. did the water have anything to do with this ( humidity)

Q2- is it good that the shed was a full length including the eye lenses?

Q3- should she be in a tight ball when curled up or a faily loose one

Q4- is it fine for her to be cruzing from the cool side to the warm side and back during the middle of the night ?!!

thank you all for looking, reading and replying!!

When a snake sheds the tub usually fogs right up. Clean the tub out and see if the problem continues, if it does then you may need to add more ventillation holes to the tub.

Q2- is it good that the shed was a full length including the eye lenses?

That is perfect, wouldn't want it any other way.

Q3- should she be in a tight ball when curled up or a faily loose one

Depends, both are ok generally speaking.

Q4- is it fine for her to be cruzing from the cool side to the warm side and back during the middle of the night ?!!

Absolutely.

I am certainly no pro but from my knowledge the humidity is ok up to an extent but i dont think super high humidity will make a snake all of a sudden decide to shed. A full shed including eye caps is a great thing. Curling up into a ball or a coil?? and cruising from one end to another at night is fine.. around midnight is when they are most active.

Nice one. I agree with all of the above comments. Add more vent holes if you like. But the humidity should clear up.

We have had some criticism on this site lately about the quality of feedback. (Some big threads on noobs).

Good on you MrBredli, good, conside feedback that I am sure has helped 'Coastal' with their q's.

AP&S is the quality herp forum in Aus! (No, Slatey isn't paying me, lol - but I do have a lot of faith in this site and its members, even when we don't always see eye to eye, that's what makes it great!).

Good stuff.
