hi guys i recieved a royal python 3 days ago and he only had his rocks to lay under so yesterday so i went out yesterday and bought him some new branches and driftwood an the same evening has shed most of his skin is this a good sign or bad i am just a bit concerned because its all new thanks. wayne.
Chances are he was already in shed...did he shed complete?
no he shed in pices roughly 6 inches but i read they can be quite distressed whilst shedding think he still has a litlle left to go but i just left him under his rock and misted his tank thoroughly
hi,you only want to mist it lightly as the humidity could cause a respritory infection,best bet is to put a tub in with some damp spag moss in or give him a bath in water around 88 degress and about as deep as his body and then run him through a towelif it dont come off,if you can find the head piece of skin check to see if the eye caps are on the shed.
ok thanks i shall go do that now its not a bad sign tho is it i get the impression he must be at least slightly comfortable to start shedding as im pretty sure he had not started when i got him or would you be a little bit concerned
lol yeah ok i checked him and from what i can see just a few litle bits left on the top of his back left to come and i couldnt specifically find the head piece but his eyes seem very clear no greyness but will inspect him tonight when he comes out dont want to disturb him too much. ill put some pics of his set up shortly on my profile please feel free to look and give me your opinions as its all very new to me and any info better than no info. thanks guys
thanks mate yeah he is cool gonna leave him till a few days after his shed so he thoroughly sttled. any ideas ho i can transfer my pics of him off my comp to my profile by looks of it can only do it if the pics are on a website or somet
you have to have pics loaded up on photo bucket or site like that . then its just a matter of copying and pasting the image link.
Congrat on your new snake, he looks a fair size in that pic. what age is he.? oh and welcome to the forum if I haven't said that some where else already.
