Hi All,

I have a 3 month old MD hatchling, she is eating a velvet mouse every 5 to 7 days. I have had her since the 3rd Dec. She is my first snake.

I think she is starting to shed, she seems to have patches of flaky skin on her sides, do i need to do anything to help her along with the shed, or is it something other than shedding? She is due for a feed tomorrow, do I attempt to feed her or hold off? Any advice would be appreciated.
 
spray her enclosure a bit with a spray bottle, just to raise the humidity, and if skin is peeling off like after getting sunburnt, then give her a warm bath in water for a bit, that should help a lot.
 
offer her a feed, she might not take it, but if she does, thats good.
then leave her be for awhile untill it happens
