Has anyone alse encountered this with their young carpet pythons?
I have a clutch of Murray Darling carpets that hatched mid December 2012 and some of the neonates have not yet sloughed their egg skins (after 6 weeks). The remaining neonates from that clutch have sloughed their egg skins and are eating well.
The neonates are kept individually in standard hatchie click-clacks and stored in a hatchie rack. The click-clacks are heated with heat cord (covering 1/3 of the click-clack), which is thermostatically controlled at 31 degrees Celsius. The substrate is paper towel and they each have a toilet roll for a hide. A water bowl is kept at the cooler end of each click-clack. Each click-clack varies in humidity throughout the day but in general, stands at around 50% humidity.
I've done some research online but I haven't encountered this problem elsewhere. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Cheers
