Exclamation can a snake go into shed again......

its been 2 months since dremora shed and she has only eaten a very small hopper since then..actually within the last week or 2. but it looks like her eyes are milky looking and her skin is really dry. could she be shedding again? even tho she hasnt been eating really? i am confused cause i thought they only shed when they grew and they only grew when they ate?!? someone enlighten me please!

They also shed as a part of a natural healing process. It helps clear up wounds quickly or helps them rid themselves of parasites such as mites. Sounds like it is going to shed yep, Mark

Wait until after she sheds before you try feeding her again. Also, don't play with her until then either. Just change water and keep the humidity up so she can shed properly.

thanks aaron, i thought that was what you were all gonna say but i had to check to make sure. i just changed her water today and misted her hide and tank, i will see if that condenses or not. if not i will mist at least once a day til after she sheds! last time her shed was incomplete and i dont want that to happen again!
