quig,

Thanks. Actually, the vet clinic is open 24 hrs, but they only have one herp vet. I called, and she's not in til Sunday. (Told ya she'd be off tomorrow). I have an appt at 3:20pm Sunday. I bought this snake, along with another one, from a seller at a show about a month ago. I haven't seen any worms from the other one, but I'll take her to the dr too. As far as the sheds go, the first one came off no problem. I soaked the snake in 85 degree water for about 1/2 hour, covered his head with a towel, and gently removed the skin. The other snake had retained so much skin, that I decided to let her get as much off as she could herself after soaking. I use clay pot hides in the enclosures. When I see a snake go opaque, I mist the pot, which raises the humidity in the enclosure to around 80%. Unfortunately, I didn't notice either of these snakes being opaque! I misted #2's pot before putting her back in. I'll check her tomorrow, and if needed, I'll soak her again and help her get the rest off.
