Just wondering how long it's supposed to take for them to shed?
its been 9 days since the first hatched and still no shed
he was in blue after 3 or 4 days and then returned to normal

should i put in a rock or something rough?

if they havent shed soon should i try feeding them?
i would've expected them to have a first meal by now...

your 1st one should shed very soon, my hatchlings normally shed around 8 days old. don't feed him until he has, he'll be fine.
i use small plastic hides made from cutting a 2inch plastic pipe in half. they allways hook their skin on to that then go through it a few times

have had 3 shed now, the first yesterday and two more this morning
happy to report that the first to shed was given a pinky over night and it is now in little snakeys belly

Can't believe how much more vibrant their colours are after a shed, its unreal!
