snake shedding questions
ok. so far dremora is going into shed but hasnt shown anything more of the shed except for th capped eyes and like little fuzzies showing up on the body. she has mites but hoping alot will come off with the shed and then as soon as done shed treat her and tank really well is the plan. how long does the shed last? we were told not to feed dremora until after the shed and dremora was supposed to eat sometime this weekend anyway. dremora was lightly oiled with mite stuff right before she capped her eyes and so i assume the skin should be soft and supple. she stays in the hide and there is nothing rough for her to rub up against in there. i have not caught her out of the hide in days not even to drink water. i gotta check on her by opening the tank and taking the top of the hide off it and looking inside. is this normal? will the shed come off in one skin like i have seen from other snakes? what is up with the fuzzy stuff..i know its very sm. patches of scales. all this has me worried that she is not shedding right. can i get a little more info on this process and maybe some answers to my questions? this is the first shed she has done since we acquired her but we have had her for around 3 weeks to a month and she eats really well so i expected one pretty soon anyways. thanks
