Re: Shedding Problems?

Thank you guys for the advice, I made a humid hide out of a small flower pot and stuffing a damp washcloth up into it. She has been hiding out under there the last couple days. Today I lifted it up to redampen the cloth and she just laid still while I did it, not even moving when I set it down around her. I saw her tense up a couple times so I know she's alive and responding, it's just very unlike her and I'm really worried.
I too have heard the horror stories about Striped Keelbacks and their parasites and high death rates, but I wouldn't think of just dumping mine because there's a chance she may die in the future. At least I can give her as comfortable a life as I can while I have her. I'm not positive how old Arya is, but I've been told if I can get her to a year she'll probably be ok... I think she's around 6-9 months now. Anyway, I'll keep my fingers crossed for a completed shed here soon.
