caramac has not shed since 1st december and has not eaten since 30th december, she has just gone cloudy but it looks as if the skin on her nose has already lifted. i sense this may be a diffulcult shed for her. i have increased the humidity. should i start bathing her.

really hoping once she sheds she will start eating again.

I would put money on her becoming interested in food after it, it usually works up an appetite in them. Fingers crossed.

I wouldn't bathe unless there's a problem personally.

Snakes shed when they grow. So i wouldnt worry on the amount of time too much unless growing but not shedding!
Hope she sheds well just stick a moist hide in. then after a full shed offer a scrummy dinner for her im sure she will eat it all up! :D
