hello, sorry about all the questions ive asked recently. but i was wondering if 89 grams is a good weight for a royal which is about 16/17 inces long? i am curently feeding her small mice, and i have just helped her shed, i put her in warm water about 35oC let her flap about a bit and then picked the skin off, it took a while but i got there. and i was wondering if i should have done that she shed her head on her own about 2 sdays ago but no more came off so i helped her , or should i have left it a bit longer?
thnx chris |

Dont worry about asking questions, Its what the forums here for...
I wouldnt worry about the weight as long as she is feeding, as for sheding I personally bath them then put a damp hide in and raise the humidity for a week or so, then if its still attached or still having touble its time for a soak and I help her out of it. |

| i'd just use the damp hide personally, even if it means putting two in (one each end) and removing the usual hides to make sure she does actually use them |
