Hey, Me and my partner are due to go down to see my family for 2 weeks on monday, however Monty has gone blue and near shedding soon. I am slightly worried as he is due a feed on sat and I'm not sure if he'll take it as he is due to shed, My partners Dad is looking after him while we're gone but I was wondering if there were any tips anyone would offer so he doesnt panick (he is totaly new to the looking after snake thing) like if Monty doesnt strick, how soon after his shed should he try again sort of thing? |

LOL - if you look in members' photos on the photo section - I think it's the last 3 or 4 pages - there is a guy called Grunt with the most amazing beard - put it this way, he has to tie it up with a ponytail band and says he can tuck it in his trousers.
Beard par excellence! |

Lampropeltis alterna kelfezondii!
Gruntii would get bogged down in the aspen and could only be kept on paper ...

Oh well, Grunt's beard ... incredible! Tolkienesque I think might describe it.
Grunt's beard is a national monument! |

i purposefully went for a dog water bowl, because when we had our corns, they loved curling up under it, as does Monty, he is looking very comfortable at the moment so i will be checking alot of the time and leave a to do list posted to his wee home so he knows what to do cheers for the advice!! :) |

Checking for a clean shed is important,adding a moss hide to raise humidity will help and could be done before you leave, also, why not get a heavier water bowl that cant be up-turned or spilt? exoterra ones are very heavy. |

Hi dont worry to much about the feeding my grace wont touch food while in blue,get your father inlaw to check the shed is ok rather than feeding.Hope all goes well. |

sounds like a good idea, he's got a tiny one but kept knocking all the water out he's a very clumsy snake last time he decided to fall in it (he's a bit of a climber) and freaked himself out! but i'll deff put a new one in for him tonight |

Think I overlapped with Margwar and Hodgie - Well, my first thought was, leave feeding him, but didn't quite like to say - and depends on how confident your partner's dad is of course - yes, I wouldn't worry about leaving off feeding, personally.
But about the water bowl - if Monty wants to hide under it - why not just give him a second one, and keep that changed - it'll up his humidity, good for shedding! |

Here's hoping he doesnt upset Monty too much with the water change over, thats where he is hiding poor wee soul!! he certainly was giving me the evils today!! no wonder too I would if I were Him :) as for not giving the "future father inlaw" a complicated task, he would moan about that!! he's dreading when we move out and he wont have us to pester he's like a wee child with the " can i see him can i can i " :P |
