Pinkies is not big enough for you snake IMO, Try a size up.
Cheers
 
Yeah thanks jax. D3 he is going to fuzzies as of Friday.
 
WOOHOO my little one just shed for the first time since i got it. I had to let him go threw my hand cause he ate today and it all curled up near the rat bump lol. I didnt put any pressure or pull i just sort of lightly held on to him and let him move if he wanted to. But he looked like he enjoyed it. Good sign i made need some new things in there for him to rub against. But then again he got it probably 1/3 of the way just the rat bump made it harder. He didnt even have milky eyes or anything this morning.
 
the shedding cycle starts 2 weeks before they lose their skin, to start with they will start to look dull, then a while later their eyes go cloudy for a few days, then clear and about 5 days later they will shed.

you may find he will hide just before his eyes go cloudy, they are semi blind at this time and probably feel vunerable,
glad it all went well though
 
Thanks Jax I was wondering why it's eyes where cloudy a few days ago but didn't shed lol. It has been hiding the last few days but has fed twice in three days. Oh well see how it is tomorrow going good now thoe. Just waiting for first turd. How long does that take after eating?
 
if she is shedding then you wont find a poo, she will wait until she has shed and then poo, quite often at the same time, sometimes its wrapped in the skin, which will be a shame for your first shed.

dont feed until after she ahs shed, she will probably refuse. but even it she doesn't it may cause a big enough lump for the shed to get stuck. and that can cause problems, you can feed as soon as she has shed, she will likely slam it down.
 
Your little guy will go into hiding just before a shed, it'll be feeling pretty itchy and grumpy, so won't want to hang out or socialise!!
