shedding

My Stimson's Python just finished her shed a few hours ago and I noticed she had a tiny bit of stuck shed. After a bath, that has since come off, but her scales look weird where the shed was. Are her scales damaged? I don't know what would have caused it. She seems happy and is moving around...

I’ve had my marbled children’s Python since March (it’s now nearly July) - she ate 2 days after bringing her home from the breeder, and again a week or so later. We tried to her feed again another week later, she refused but then shed. Since then she has refused every feed. It’s been nearly 12...

Hey all, Ive noticed my juvenile Childrens Python has begun shedding however she has shed in parts and not one big piece. I keep the temp at about 28-29°C with a heat mat at about 31°C throughout the day and drop it too about 24-26°C at night. The humidity was at 48% today but usually sits up...

Hi guys new snake owner, got my girl just a couple of months ago, no issues with feeding, a little defensive but I’m putting that down to just being her age. She is currently in a large tub with heat mat sitting at 31 degrees, has a hide, water (on the cool side) and a branch/fake leaves for...

Hello everyone, I got a yellow bellied ball python in April and he just started having a really pink belly. Is it pre shedding or should I be concerned?? He hasn’t shed since I got him so I’m not sure what his typical schedule and signs are he has a heat lamp that keeps his cage at 93° on the...

Hello! I have an eastern long neck turtle who is currently shedding his scutes. This is a very exciting thing to observe, but it's a little confusing: I've never seen it happen before. I've had this guy for 11 years now, but I don't know his age or his origins because I am at least the third...

Hi all, I recently got myself an Olive Python hatchling and I’ve found that it’s a bit snappy, to the point where when I offered food it was going for my hand instead. Also when I walk into the room it starts turning into an ‘S’ shape. Also when I’m trying to change the water and I use the hook...

Hey guys, so my young (4 month old) woma python hasn't pooped in almost three weeks. I'm feeding him a fuzzy rat once a week, and he has been fed three times now, with no poop. I make sure every feeding that he never swallows any substrate by feeding him outside his enclosure. He is still...

A few months ago a bought a snake off a breeder. More than anything, I bought it to save the poor girl from living in a shoe box size bin that looked like it hadn't been cleaned since she was born. Anyways, as far as I know she's never had a full shed and I've tried a lot of things to help that...

I inherited my daughter's carpet python when she left our home in Brisbane. I am not sure about giving him his first feed for spring 5 October. There's currently no heater & the carpet python is pretty active. However, his body & eyes are looking dull, I think he's in for a shed. Normally he...

Hello! First time posting here! I recently got a pet woma python a few months ago and he just finished his first shed under my care about a week and a half ago. He had cloudy eyes and all too, and everything went perfectly, eye caps and all. But today when I went to handle him, I noticed his...

Hey guys I have an adult jungle python, I'm not certain on exactly how old he is as I'm the second owner and the first owner couldn't tell me how long he had it for. when i got him he was under weight and living in horrible conditions, (the guy couldn't even tell me if there was a heat mat in...

Hey so I purchased a 6 month old spotted python from a breeder on Monday the 12th of Feb. They said he had shed that morning, and provided a feed (but not shed) record. However, this morning I woke up to him starting to shed again (just around the head). That was 3 hours ago, and he has not...

Hey guys! Sorry if this is a silly question. I've searched for an answer on this and haven't found anything concrete. I am new at snake keeping and have only had my 3 year old stimmie for 2 months. His last shed was two months ago and he is currently showing strong symptoms of shedding again...

I've recently purchased an albino darwin x jungle python, it's 3 months old (my first snake). I think it might be about to shed, I've noticed it's right eye turned a cloudy blue colour a couple of days ago and it's been spending a lot of time in its hide. I'm wondering if I should handle it as...
