Well its only taken 1 week but she has finally shed! 
Was trying to shift kiddies to bed when i noticed she was out and about and it wasnt her normal time for getting out. Went and put a child to bed and looked in on her, she was nearly completely shed!
It was a good shed, can see where her wee eyes were and got tail tip too! i am so proud of her!
Here is a piccy of her shed.

| Its depends how far she pulled it round stuff but its not an accurate way to measure a snake as their skin is stretchy. |

| fab that she's shed, i would deduct approx 10% of the shed length and then it will only be an approximation but nearer to there actual length so 54" shed - 10% = approx 50" if my maths is correct |

I noticed that Fluffy was unusually up and about yesterday during the day and then he did a big yawn then started to rub his face round his log. I grabbed the video camera but I don't think I had enough light, so no idea if it is any good. Well, he didn't manage to shed in one piece, but he did it in 2 and I was very careful to check that he had completely shed and he has so I'm well chuffed.
He's a bit unsettled again at the moment and doesn't seem to be interested in food just now, even though he is due a feed. Could anyone give me a bit of advice as to when I should offer him a meal? |

| I would say just give it a couple of days. When was he last fed?! Snakes can go a long time without food so im sure he isnt too bothered. x |

Thanks Aegis. He was due for a feed last Sunday and I noticed he'd gone into blue. I did offer him a pinkie, but he wasn't interested, so thought best to leave him be.
He spent the night curled up on one of his new plants and he did this when I first got him too, so I suspect he's a little insecure at the moment again. Will keep an eye on him over the next few days. |
