What was dumb is saying that the snake won't shed because it is too stupid to figure out how!! It is instinctual and as long as husbandry is right the snake will do it. Telling her that her snake might have a bad shed because it is mentally challenged does not improve the husbandry just gives an excuse for the animals poor condition that makes the keeper feel like it isn't their fault when it most likely is.



Also many snakes will refuse to eat when they are in shed as well when they are going into shed within a day or two. Since yours ate expect the shed to be coming very soon.
