Hey guys. We upgraded Arco from fluffys to small mice on Friday. She took the food straight away without much coaxing. The thing is tho, we haven't seen her since?? She went straight into her hide. We don't think she's been out since. Should I be worried?? It's been nearly 4 days?? :

Yay, wonderful news! I know I'm late in my reply, but I am very glad to hear that Arco is back to feeding properly. :)

So glad to hear Arco is back to eating and doing well. Did you feed a smaller item or stay with the larger one you switched to? Would love to see some pics if you get the time.

Arco FINALLY shed last night after spending 2 weeks in her hide. The first time we saw her in two weeks was last night. So happy she's ok!! Can't wait to get her out and admire her later!! Think I need to be a bit less paranoid! I forget how resilient snakes are!! Once again thanks for the great advice!! I'm sure I'll be on here again at some stage looking for more :D x

Will do. Thanks Cliff :)

Good to hear! Please keep us posted as she sheds and eats!
Nathair2012 Posted - 12/08/2012 : 20:52:32
She seems happy :) so that means we're happy :)
Nathair2012 Posted - 12/08/2012 : 14:47:07
And I got my first star!!!! :D
Nathair2012 Posted - 12/08/2012 : 14:45:40
Just checked on Arco. She is most defiantly in shed. We are going to wait until she has shed until we offer her another meal. Thanks again for all your helpful advice. It was just me being paranoid!!! Better to be safe than sorry though I suppose!!! :)
Nathair2012 Posted - 11/08/2012 : 10:30:27
We haven't had her that long so she's only shed once with us and refused food then. As you say though Cliff, the extra calories won't hurt!!! Thanks again!! Will post laters and let you know how we get on.
Snakesitter Posted - 11/08/2012 : 02:32:31
I typically offer a meal even when a snake is in shed, *unless* it is an animal that typically refuses in shed. The extra calories never hurt if the animal is interested, and that way you kill two birds (digesting, shedding) with one time stone!

I think I'll leave it till tomorrow. I'll take her out tomorrow evening and see if she feeds. If not then we'll just see how it goes. As I say, I think I'm being paranoid because of all that happened when we got her!! Thanks again Incurable. Great advice as always :)
