Hi all:
We received our new addition last week She is gorgeous!!!! Just a question tho... It seems she may be going into shed....her skin has gotten that opaque "milky" appearance, although her eyes haven't gone blue yet.
We were told that she was being fed every Wednesday, so Wednesday we tried feeding her (she's been eating frozen pinkies - yes we thawed it first :wink: ) She wasn't interested in eating.....since then we've put her back in the tank and she hasn't moved at all from the spot she curled up in since then (except for repositioning her head) Is this normal behaviour, she's not been very active for the last few days.
When we had our ball python, Marty, he would go fairly inactive and not want to eat when going into shed, he would soak himself in his water bucket before shed as well.
The temp in the tank is around 30 degrees. Does she need to be warmer?
Also, do Bredli's need to be misted at all to help with shed? We tried misting her a bit the other day and she really didn't seem to care for it ..Will she want to soak herself - she does have a water dish that would accomodate her if she wanted to do that.
When should we give her a go on the feeding again? Wait til tomorrow, or try feeding her again today?
Thanks for all your help
Cheers
