| I have had Khan for 6 months and he has settled in well. He is 18 months old. He has been feeding, shedding and pooping fine and active at night. He last fed last Thursday and since then has shown signs of going into shed. I have checked temps which are all as they should be and have increased humidity. Over the last 2 days he has just stayed in his hide and I have not noticed him moving. Can this be normal or should I be worried? He is my first snake so just need a pointer of anything I can do or if there may be a problem. Thanks in advance x |

| Thankyou, he has shed since he's been with me but didn't notice him being so inactive before. As I'm a novice just wanted some reassurance. :) |

| Royals love to cause us panic ...we have 3 and you only usually ever see one (climbing his vines lol) the rest you start seeing closer to feeding day our boas on the other hand...well let's just say we are always being watched and not very discreetly! |

| Only one of mine, Sas, roams his viv, usually wrecking it in the process! The other 2 like hiding in their houses. I occasionally see Boris going from one end to the other but Ria is like a phantom! |

Boas - 1 called Titch until we can think of a name for her!
