Hi!
I'm having problems with my pueblan hatchling.
She has started her shed period more than a week ago, she has finished the blue eye perod something like 7 days ago but still has her old skin on, intact!
I have 4 corns and have given them baths to help them shed when humidity was low and it alwas helped. I tried that out with her two days ago but nothing. She is not eating and seems quite stressed, she used to be quite active but now does not moove from her hide...
Any suggestions?
The thing that worries me is that it's more than 20 days now she has not eaten, I know they can last much more but I would like to help her out if possible.

try putting her in a damp sock for a few hours.

an easy solution is to put a hole in the side of a plastic butter container about halfway up and add some spagnum moss and water. Nice cheap damp hide.

Seven days is not an unusual time Lisa. Provide the snake with a humid hide area like the good Reverend suggested and let nature take it's course. Your little pueblan will be hungry when it sheds.

I have plenty of pinkies with her name on them for when she has finished sedding!!!
I will try the sock, I have already provided a hide with damp moss...
Thanx for the replyes!
