How r u guys

Karma did her shed and everything seemed cool.
i checked her and she got a bit of skin on her tail so i have put moss in her hide is that ok?
my auntie got a luke warm tissue and wiped karma and it did not come off.

Also karma missed her feed yesterday we left the mouse on tissue over night because she had no interest when wiggling mouse in front of her. and woke up to a stuart little laying there no worries lol.

Can you guys give me a little advice on what to do.

cheers

First of Tom Dont panic. Have you tried bathing her then letting her wriggle through a towel? The moss in the hide will help so well done for that. I have had it when one of mine wouldnt eat coz it had a piece of skin attached to its face I think they know something is wrong somehow try bathing her make sure the water is warm enough (as warm as your warm end of the viv) and let her wriggle through a towel after and hopefully it will come off.

wet tissue is good sometimes but not as effective as a bath mate

its ok they normally waterproof then let her have a soak for a few mins let the water do its work then let her wriggle thru a towel applying gentle but not too much pressure
Hopefully it will come off and you should be ok. If not allow the moss to do its work for 24hours to see if that helps. I been thru this with colin and it took a couple of attempts but eventually it came off and the piece of skin had an eyecap attached and it worked for me.

Good luck mate

I know some people say to do a damp hide an all but I never liked that idea because I'd worry about them getting an RI and you can never tell snakey where to go in a viv so I bath mine :) I use a RUB, put a bit of water in it, so they can slither through the water not swim. I put the lid on the RUB and then wait 10/15 mins. I get then get the snake out and do their body with a damp towel and it comes off normally.

I'm sure she will eat in her next feed, they are sometimes like that.



A very special super, duper thanks for K :3
