oscar shed for the first time since ive had him:) i tried to handle him afew minutes ago but he wrapped his tail around the branch but he was happy for me to hold him, i was alittle worried as he hadnt been handled alittle over a week. he felt like he'd been polished lol. his skin was in 2 pieces is that ok? hes 3ft7" abit longer than i thought.
give him a bit before you hold him mine always is a little stressed after he sheds and you say he is 3 foot 7 is that from the shed or the real snake bc the shed striches my red tail boa is 9 feet but her shed is 14
Think it is divide the length by 10% and you will get the proper length of the snake ('Those who know' - is that right?). Have you checked it was a full shed...that the eye caps and tail end were on shed....can you see any bits of shed left on him? Did you see him shed? Its amazing - happens so fast! xxx
i just double checked the shed and its all there, ive just found the top of the head caught on his hide, so theres 3 bits all together. i never saw him shed:(
