Hi every 1 my royal ate for the fist time 2 weeks ago but is shedding i was wondering can you feed while he is shedding.
Also i have seen that he is only sheeding the top half of his body and stops when he get 3 quarters done, it has happened before and it took him nearly 2 weeks to be fully sheded and that was on the 15th of last month.he is now shedding 4 days, i was wondering is that a bit soon for a royal aat te sge of 5 months. Is there any thing wrong with any off that |

| U could offer food if u wanted but your probably wasting your time cause of him being in shed so I'd just wait till after he has finished. Every four weeks sounds about right for a hatchling or young snake cause of how fast they grow lol. With the shedding have you raised the humidity in any way to help, if u have I'd wait a few days and if he still hasn't finished either give him a bath or put him in a damp pillow case for a while to try and help |

Yes, as J says, and also, when shedding, the crucial bits are the eyecaps and tailtip. It's good if everything else in between comes off, but if the eyecaps and tailtip are retained, there can be problems. Shahi, my first royal, was like this as a youngster; his first sheds with me were disasters. I leave his water bowl in his warm end all the time now.
Good luck with his next shed and congrats on his first feed. |
